Podophyllotoxin
A lignan extracted from the rhizomes of the mayapple (Podophyllum peltatum), a plant of North American woodlands already used by Native Americans: it blocks cell division and is applied to the skin to treat genital warts. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, labelled standards and other impurities.
Did you know?The name Podophyllum combines the Greek words for 'foot' and 'leaf', because the leaf resembles a duck's webbed foot; the anticancer drugs etoposide and teniposide derive from this molecule.
