Abstract: | Podophyllotoxin, a well-known naturally occurring aryltetralin lignan occurs in few plant species that is used as a precursor for the chemical synthesis of the anticancer drugs like etoposide, teniposide and etopophose phosphate. The availiability of this lignan is becoming increasingly limited because of the scarce occurance of its natural sources and also because synthetic approaches for its production are still commercially unacceptable. This paper reports first time the production of podophyllotoxin by an endophytic fungus Fusarium oxysporum isolated from the medicinal plant Juniperus recurva. Further confirmation and quantification of podophyllotoxin was performed by HPLC, LC-MS, and LC-MS/MS. |
