  • Applications

    Podophyllum (resin), CAS 9000-55-9, is used as a source material for podophyllotoxin and related derivatives, supporting pharmaceutical applications as a precursor for podophyllotoxin-based anticancer drugs (for example, etoposide and teniposide). It also serves as a feedstock for extracting podophyllotoxin for research and API development. In laboratory settings, this cytotoxic lignan is used as a reference compound in studies of cell-cycle arrest and cell division pathways. Historically, the resin has been employed as a potent laxative in traditional medicine. Given its toxicity and the need for strict controls, its use is subject to regulatory oversight and formulation-specific limits within pharmaceutical and chemical supply chains.
