    $128.16 - $331.08
    Etoposide is an anticancer topoisomerase inhibitor that was derived from the natural product podophyllotoxin extracted from Podophyllum peltatum. It is effective against a variety of cancers, causing DNA damage which leads to apoptosis.

    Etoposide is very slightly soluble in water.
    Mechanism of ActionEtoposide targets DNA topoisomerase II, hindeirng the re-ligation step of DNA replication. This causes DNA damage and leads the cell to programmed cell death.
