Etoposide is a technically defined substance with the molecular formula C33H38N4O3 and a molecular weight of 538.7. It belongs to the class of organic compounds known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. This compound is typically handled under controlled conditions due to its potential toxicity. Etoposide has been used in anticancer therapy, specifically in the treatment of testicular cancer, small cell lung cancer, and certain types of lymphoma. It interferes with the normal function of DNA topoisomerase II, an enzyme that helps manage DNA during cell division. This interference leads to DNA damage and eventual cell death.
