Podofilox
Podofilox (podophyllotoxin) is an antimitotic agent derived from the mayapple plant that inhibits microtubule assembly by binding to tubulin, thereby arresting cell division at metaphase and inducing apoptosis in rapidly dividing cells. It is used topically for the treatment of external genital and perianal warts (condylomata acuminata) caused by human papillomavirus.
