THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION
Antimitotic Agent
ACTIONS
Necrosis of visible tissue is observed following treatment of genital
warts with Podofilox.
The exact mechanism of action is_ _unknown.
Podofilox is_ _a metaphase inhibitor of dividing cells. Podofilox
binds to at least one
binding site on tubulin. This binding prevents the tubulin
polymerisation required for
microtubule assembly. At higher concentrations Podofilox also inhibits
nucleoside
transport through the cell membrane.
The chemotherapeutic action of Podofilox is assumed to be due to
inhibition of growth
and the ability to invade the tissue of the virus-infected cells.
Podofilox prevents cell
division in the virus infected cells of the condylomata acuminata.
