  Bioprospecting for Podophyllotoxin
Podophyllotoxin is a natural lignan that is currently being used as a precursor to semi-synthetic anti-cancer drugs etoposide, teniposide, and etopophos.
In addition, podophyllotoxin is also the precursor to a new derivative CPH 82 that is being tested for rheumatoid arthritis in Europe and other derivatives for the treatment of psoriasis and malaria (Leander and Rosen 1988; Lerndal and Svensson 2000).
Podophyllotoxin preparations are also on the market for dermatological use to treat genital warts (Beutner 1996) and recently, immune-stimulatory activities of podophyllotoxin have been reported (Pugh et al.

 Patent 5300500
The present invention relates to novel 4.beta.-amino podophyllotoxin analog compounds useful in the treatment of tumors, to methods of synthesis of the compounds, and to methods of treating tumors with pharmaceutical preparations containing the compounds.
Also disclosed are methods of synthesizing the 4.beta.-amino podophyllotoxin analogs corresponding to structures (a) and (b), and methods of their use in treating tumors, as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds for use in tumor treatment.
In the treatment method of the invention, a podophyllotoxin analog of the type described above is suspended in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and administered in a pharmaceutically effective amount to reduce tumor growth in a mammalian subject.

 The American Mayapple and its Potential for Podophyllotoxin Production
Since the total synthesis of podophyllotoxin is an expensive process, availability of the compound from natural renewable resources is an important issue for pharmaceutical companies that manufacture these drugs.
These accessions were proven to be stable podophyllotoxin chemotypes and confirmed as chemotypes by cultivating them in different growing conditions for three consecutive years and harvesting their blades for lignan extraction (Moraes et al.
Future demand of podophyllotoxin derivatives may be affected by additional approvals within the anticancer drug market and also by the new therapeutic targets currently being investigated.

 Radioprotective Effect of Podophyllotoxin in Saccharomyces cerevisiae - Begell House Inc.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Podophyllotoxin is one of the major constituents of the whole extract of Podophyllum.
Podophyllotoxin was not mutagenic or recombinogenic at radioprotective doses (2.5 μg/mL).
This study indicates that podophyllotoxin is radioprotective in yeast, and its radioprotective effects in higher eukaryotes would be worth investigating.

 Patent 5057616
Podophyllotoxin is recovered from podophyllum resin with improved efficiency by adsorbing impurities out of a solution using a solid adsorbent, preferably alumina.
This improvement finds application in an overall process for purifying podophyllotoxin from podophyllum resin in which the podophyllotoxin is first crystallized from the podophyllum resin, the crystals so formed are dissolved and subjected to the solid adsorbent treatment, crystals are then recovered and optionally recrystallized and dried to give the desired product.
We have found that weight ratios of adsorbent to crude podophyllotoxin in the range of from about 0.5 to 1 to about 5 to 1 are useful with ratios of from about 1 to 1 to about 3 to 1 being preferred.

 PODOPHYLLOTOXIN CONTENT IN LEAVES OF EASTERN RED CEDAR (JUNIPERUS VIRGINIANA)
Podophyllotoxin is used to manufacture drugs for treatment of cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, genital warts, psoriasis, and multiple sclerosis.
The objective of the survey was to examine variations in podophyllotoxin content due to sampling date and plant type.
Samples of 100 g of fresh leaf tissue were collected from juvenile, immature, mature male, and mature female plants and then dried, ground, extracted in chloroform, and analyzed with HPLC to measure podophyllotoxin content.

Antitumor properties of podophyllotoxin and related compounds.The lignan family of natural products includes compounds with important antineoplastic and antiviral properties such as podophyllotoxin and two of their semisynthetic derivatives, etoposide and teniposide.
The mechanism by which podophyllotoxin blocks cell division is related to its inhibition of microtubule assembly in the mitotic apparatus.
Other podophyllotoxin derivatives has also been reported which retained or even improved the cytotoxic activity, but these were weak inhibitors of topoisomerase II in vitro; the data revealed that such analogs exhibit a different, as yet unknown, mechanism of action.
