ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Etoposide is a semi-synthetic derivative of podophyllotoxin used in
the treatment of certain
neoplastic diseases.
_In vitro_
, etoposide has cytostatic action, which prevents the cells from
entering mitosis or destroys
them in the pre-mitotic phase. Etoposide interferes with the synthesis
of DNA and has a secondary
effect on arresting cells in resting (G2) phase in experiments with
human lymphoblastic cell lines.
Etoposide has a marked action on human hemopoietic cells causing
leukopenia and
thrombocytopenia. Animal experiments have shown evidence of
teratogenicity.
