Disease relevance of Podophyllum

 

High impact information on Podophyllum

  • Crystal structures of apo-form and binary/ternary complexes of Podophyllum secoisolariciresinol dehydrogenase, an enzyme involved in formation of health-protecting and plant defense lignans [3].
  • A semi-purified extract of low-altitude Podophyllum hexandrum (REC-2001) containing a relatively low content of podophyllotoxin (3.25 %) exhibited potent antioxidant ability in lipid media (at 1000 microg/mLagainst 0.25 kGy) and significant (p < 0.05) hydroxyl ion scavenging potential (78.83 % at 500 microg/mL) [4].
  • Rehydration of powdered tissues of Podophyllum peltatum L. prior to extraction with an organic solvent allows endogenous beta-glucosidases to hydrolyze lignan 4-O-beta-D-glucosides in situ and increase the yield of podophyllotoxin [5].
  • Higher-cost modalities are cryotherapy ($951), trichloroacetic acid ($986), imiquimod ($1255), podophyllum resin ($1632), and interferon alfa-2b ($6665) [6].
  • A variety of treatment methods, including mental suggestion, local 5-fluorouracil, podophyllum, electrosurgery, and cryotherapy, has been used with varying success [7].
 

Biological context of Podophyllum

 

Anatomical context of Podophyllum

  • Tween80, the detergent included in the anti-inflammatory drug Proresid, containing podophyllum lignan derivatives, also inhibited lymphocyte proliferation in a dose-dependent manner [9].
 

Associations of Podophyllum with chemical compounds

  • An API-LC/MS/MS method was developed for the identification of the medicinal herb Podophyllum emodi based on the profile of its aryltetrahydronapthalene and related lignan marker compounds [10].
  • The patient was a 17-year-old female Indian who had received some 3 to 8 cc of a 20 percent mixture of podophyllum resin in compound tincture of benzoin (approximately equal to 0.4 gm of podophylotoxin) as an application to her vulvar condylomata [11].
  • Dinitrochlorobenzene was used to eradicate lesions that had been resistant to treatment with podophyllum resin [12].
  • These are based on the chemically modified structures of the naturally occurring podophyllum lignan, diphyllin [13].
  • The aryl tetralin lignans are synthesized by Podophyllum sps. and are in great demand worldwide due to their use in synthesis of topoisomerase inhibitors [14].
 

Gene context of Podophyllum

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Podophyllum

  • The purpose of our research was to design and develop a sensitive immunoassay for the natural Podophyllum lignan, podophyllotoxin [1], which is the precursor of the anti-cancer drugs etoposide [2] and teniposide [3] [19].
  • RESULTS: Podophyllum Theta, Cina 30 and Santoninum 30 reduced the larval population in the studied mice by 68.14%, 84.10% and 81.20%, respectively, as compared to the untreated control group [17].
