Action and Uses |
Podophyllotoxin is derived from the roots
of the Indian podophyllum plant. It is applied directly to
genital warts. When it penetrates the wart tissue, it has a
toxic effect on the nuclei of the wart cells. The nucleus is
the cell's control centre. It controls cell division and
multiplication (mitosis). This results in the healthy growth
of tissue. Podophyllotoxin is an antimitotic and by its
action on the nuclei, prevents the wart cells from dividing.
This stops the cells multiplying. Over time, all the wart
cells die and new healthy tissue grows in their place.
