Antineoplastic epipodophyllotoxins are a class of semisynthetic plant alkaloid cytotoxic agents derived from the mandrake plant (*Podophyllum peltatum*) They primarily function as topoisomerase II poisons, stabilizing enzyme-DNA cleavage complexes and inducing double- and single-stranded DNA breaks that trigger cell cycle arrest and apoptosis

They primarily function as topoisomerase II poisons, stabilizing enzyme-DNA cleavage complexes and inducing double- and single-stranded DNA breaks that trigger cell cycle arrest and apoptosis Major disease indications include refractory testicular cancer, small cell lung cancer, acute leukemias (particularly childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia), and malignant lymphomas

Members of this class, most notably etoposide and teniposide, serve as critical components of combination chemotherapy regimens across several hematologic and solid malignancies
