VP-16-213 (etoposide) is an orally and parenterally active antineoplastic agent synthesized from podophyllum extracts of a common North American plant, the May apple or mandrake. The drug delays and kills cells in the G2 phase of the cell cycle and is active in a variety of animal tumors and leukemias. Major therapeutic activity for the drug has been found in small cell bronchogenic carcinoma, germ cell malignancies, acute non-lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin's disease and non-HOdgkin's lymphoma. Minor therapeutic activity of the drug occurs in non-small cell bronchogenic carcinoma, pediatric neoplasms, hepatocellular carcinoma and gastric cancer. Toxicity is primarily hematologic, with alopecia, nausea and vomiting occurring less frequently.
