Pure Podophyllotoxin Powder Mechanism of Action
The mechanism of action of podophyllotoxin involves its ability to interfere with cell division, specifically by binding to and inhibiting an enzyme called topoisomerase II. This inhibition prevents the unwinding of DNA during cell division, leading to cell cycle arrest and ultimately cell death. Additionally, podophyllotoxin can disrupt microtubule assembly, further contributing to its antimitotic effects. These actions make it effective in treating conditions like genital warts and certain cancers.

Podophyllin vs Podophyllotoxin
Podophyllin and podophyllotoxin are both derived from the roots of certain plants, but they have different properties and applications. Podophyllin is a resinous powder extracted from the roots of the Mayapple plant and has been used in the past to treat genital warts. However, due to its toxicity and potential side effects, it is no longer commonly used. Podophyllotoxin, on the other hand, is a compound derived from podophyllin and is used as a topical treatment for genital warts. It's considered safer and more effective than podophyllin, with fewer side effects.
