Podophyllotoxin (PPT) is the active ingredient in Podofilox, which is a medical cream that is used to treat genital warts and molluscum contagiosum.[2] It is not recommended in HPV infections without external warts.[2] It can be applied either by a healthcare provider or the person themselves.[2]

It is a non-alkaloid toxin lignin extracted from the roots and rhizomes of Podophyllum species.[3] A less refined form known as podophyllum resin is also available, but has greater side effects.[4][5]

Podophyllotoxin was first isolated in pure form in 1880 by Valerian Podwyssotzki (1818 – 28 January 1892), a Polish-Russian privatdozent at the University of Dorpat (now: Tartu, Estonia) and assistant at the Pharmacological Institute there.[6][7][8]

It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[9]
