What is Podophyllotoxin?

Podophyllotoxin is a non-alkaloid toxin lignan extracted primarily from the roots and rhizomes of two plants:

Podophyllum hexandrum (Syn. Sinopodophyllum hexandrum, Himalayan Mayapple) - The primary commercial source, yielding 4-5% podophyllotoxin.

Podophyllum peltatum (American Mayapple) - Contains a lower concentration.

It is the precursor molecule for the semi-synthetic production of chemotherapeutic drugs etoposide, teniposide, and etopophos.
