Podophyllotoxin: Current approaches to its biotechnological production and future challenges

Abstract: Many plant‐derived agents are being used to treat cancer, including taxol, vinblastine, vincristine, or camptothecin and podophyllotoxin derivatives, among others. Plant biotechnology can provide a new tool for the production of anticancer agents but in spite of considerable efforts to produce vinblastine and vincristine in cell cultures and knowledge of the biosynthetic pathway of Catharanthus roseus alkaloids, the biotechnological production of taxol has only been achieved at an industrial level by companies… Show more

“…Moreover, plant derived drugs like vinblastine, vincristine, taxol, and camptothecin had lead to greatest extend within the vicinity of antitumor upon where, the drugs were reported to improvise the chemotherapy of some cancers [6] . Plants contain almost unlimited capacity to generate compounds that fascinates researchers in the quest for new and novel chemotherapeutics [7] .…”

“…Chemioterapia jest ważną możliwością w leczeniu nowotworów, a do postępów w jej rozwoju znacząco przyczyniły się czynniki chemioterapeutyczne pochodzenia roślinnego. Wśród substancji pochodzenia roślinnego stosowanych obecnie w terapii nowotworów można wyróżnić winblastynę, winkrystynę (alkaloidy barwinka), paklitaksel oraz pochodne kamptotecyny i podofilotoksyny (8,9).…”

“…Po raz pierwszy została wyizolowana z P. peltatum (pochodzenia amerykańskiego), natomiast w żywicy pochodzącego z Azji P. emodi związek ten występuje w większych ilościach (9,16,24). Podofilotoksyna została również wykryta w innych roślinach, na przykład w gatunkach z rodzaju Linum czy Juniperus (9). Związek ten jest układem pięciopier-ścieniowym i ma pierścień laktonowy w konfiguracji trans (16,24).…”

“…Out of the millions of naturally occurring compounds, only a few have been developed for use as cancer therapies [9]. These include vinca alkaloids [10], paclitaxel, docetaxel [11], etoposide, teniposide [12], and camptothecin and camptothecin derivatives, topothecan, irinothecan [13], and anthracycline [14].…”
