Produktinformation

• Name: 4'-Demethylpodophyllotoxin
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: 4'-Demethylpodophyllotoxin is a lignan derivative, which is sourced primarily from the roots and rhizomes of the plant species Podophyllum. This compound is a refined version of podophyllotoxin, a well-known precursor in the synthesis of anticancer drugs. The primary mode of action of 4'-Demethylpodophyllotoxin involves the inhibition of microtubule assembly, thereby disrupting the mitotic spindle formation essential for cell division. This mechanism leads to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in rapidly dividing cells, highlighting its potential in antitumor therapies.
