Podophyllum resin is a natural extract derived from the roots and rhizomes of Podophyllum plants, primarily used in pharmaceuticals as a precursor for cancer treatments like etoposide and teniposide. It is also employed in dermatology for treating warts and skin lesions. This resin has the CAS number 9000-55-9, with a molecular formula of C88H92O34 and a molecular weight of 1693.6. It is stored at ambient conditions but requires careful handling due to its hazardous nature, indicated by the signal word "Danger." Molekula supplies Podophyllum resin from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.

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?
