A cytochrome P-450 (heme-thiolate) protein characterized from the plant Sinopodophyllum hexandrum. The enzyme produces the direct precursor to etoposide, a potent anticancer drug. It can also act on (-)-deoxypodophyllotoxin with lower efficiency.
the enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of (-)-4'-demethylepipodophyllotoxin (the etoposide aglycone), a naturally occurring lignan that is the immediate precursor of etoposide and, unlike podophyllotoxin, a potent topoisomerase inhibitor. Biosynthetic pathway of (-)-podophyllotoxin, overview

recombinant coexpression of the genes involved in the podophyllotoxin pathway permits to reconstitute the pathway to (-)-4'-demethylepipodophyllotoxin (the etoposide aglycone), a naturally occurring lignan that is the immediate precursor of etoposide and, unlike podophyllotoxin, a potent topoisomerase inhibitor, for production of the etoposide aglycone in tobacco and circumvent the need for cultivation of mayapple and semisynthetic epimerization and demethylation of podophyllotoxin
