The 4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside of DMEP ((-)-4-desmethylepipodophyllotoxin) (GDMEP), a natural product from Podophyllum hexandrum, is the direct precursor to the topoisomerase inhibitor etoposide, used in dozens of chemotherapy regimens for various malignancies. The biosynthesis pathway for DMEP has
Lignans are diphenolic compounds widely distributed in the plant kingdom. They are mainly localised in lignified tissues, seeds and roots. These molecules are involved in plant defence mechanisms, but are also interesting for human health. Flax lignans belonging to the phytoestrogens are metabolised
As a phenyltetralin-type lignin isolated from roots and rhizomes of Podophyllum hexandrum, podophyllotoxin (POD) possesses a great deal of biological activities, especially the anticancer activity via preventing the division of cancerous cells. However, its practical clinical application as
Podophyllotoxin is an aryltetralin lignan synthesized in several plant species, which is used in chemotherapies for cancers and tumor treatment. More potent semisynthetic derivatives of podophyllotoxin such as etoposide and teniposide are being developed and evaluated for their efficacy. To meet the
