Epi-podophyllotoxin
CAS:Epi-podophyllotoxin is a lignan that is primarily derived from the rhizomes and roots of the plant species Podophyllum, commonly known as mayapple. This compound exhibits significant pharmacological activity, primarily due to its ability to disrupt the mitotic process. As an antimitotic agent, epi-podophyllotoxin exerts its effects by inhibiting microtubule assembly, which is crucial for cell division. This action leads to the arrest of the cell cycle in the metaphase, ultimately causing apoptosis in rapidly dividing cancer cells.
