Etoposide is a widely used chemotherapy medication derived from the American mandrake plant, used to treat various cancers. It belongs to the class of drugs known as topoisomerase II inhibitors and works by damaging DNA to kill rapidly dividing cancer cells.
Etoposide's primary mechanism of action (MOA) is to act as a topoisomerase II inhibitor, which leads to DNA damage and ultimately programmed cell death (apoptosis) in rapidly dividing cancer cells.
