Frequently asked questions

What is Podophyllum resin commonly used for?

Podophyllum resin is primarily used as a starting material for the semi-synthesis of etoposide and teniposide, both of which are chemotherapy drugs for treating cancers like testicular, lung, and lymphoma.

What is the chemical formula and molecular weight of Podophyllum resin?

The chemical formula is C₈₈H₉₂O₃₄, and the molecular weight is 1693.6 g/mol.

How should Podophyllum resin be stored?

Store in a tightly sealed container at ambient temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight.

What grades or purities of Podophyllum resin does Molekula supply?

Podophyllum resin (podophyllin) is a crude resinous extract containing a mixture of lignans and other constituents, so its podophyllotoxin content varies with the source species, typically about 20% for P. peltatum and up to about 40–50% for P. emodi (exact specifications available upon request).

Can Molekula supply Podophyllum resin in bulk quantities?

Yes, Molekula can supply Podophyllum resin in bulk quantities (minimum order quantities vary; contact us for pricing and availability).

What documentation comes with an order of Podophyllum resin?

Each order includes a Certificate of Analysis (CoA), Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), and batch-specific documentation for traceability.
