Description

Podophyllin: Caustic extract from the roots of Podophyllum peltatum and P. emodi. It contains PODOPHYLLOTOXIN and its congeners and is very irritating to mucous membranes and skin. Podophyllin is a violent purgative that may cause CNS damage and teratogenesis. It is used as a paint for warts, skin neoplasms, and senile keratoses.

Research Excerpts

Overview

Podophyllin is a crude plant extract and is therefore not a well-defined product. It acts as a spindle poison, binds microtubular proteins and inhibits axoplasmic flow.
