Overview:
Podophyllotoxin is a natural product derived from the roots and rhizomes of the Podophyllum plant, commonly known as Mayapple. It has a long history of use in traditional medicine and has been studied for its potential in modern medical applications, particularly in the field of dermatology and oncology.
In dermatology, podophyllotoxin is often formulated into creams and solutions for the topical treatment of external genital warts caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Its efficacy in this regard has been well documented, making it a common prescription for this condition.
Additionally, the compound is a precursor for the development of several semisynthetic chemotherapeutic agents, including etoposide and teniposide, which are used to treat various types of cancer.
