An illustration of the wild mandrake, showing part of the rhizome (at bottom)<unk>  is a semisynthetic derivative of podophyllotoxin from the rhizome of the wild mandrake (Podophyllum peltatum). More specifically, it is a glycoside of podophyllotoxin with a D-glucose derivative. It is chemically similar to the anti-cancer drug teniposide, being distinguished only by a methyl group where teniposide has a thienyl. Both these compounds have been developed with the aim of creating less toxic derivatives of podophyllotoxin. The substance is a white to yellow-brown, crystalline powder. It is soluble in organic solvents. It is used in form of its salt<unk>  phosphate.
