Etoposide Market to Undertake Strapping Growth During 2016 - 2024

Global Etoposide Market: Description

Etoposide is a derivative of epipodophyllotoxins that are derived from Mandragora officianarum (plant). Its chemical name is 4'-demethyl-epipodophylotoxin 9-[4,6-O-(R)-ethylidene-β-D-glucopyranoside] and it was introduced in the market in 1970. Currently, it is utilized extensively in manufacturing drugs that help treat various human malignant diseases such as testicular cancer, lymphomas (Hodgkin, non-Hodgkin), leukemia and lung cancer. Other diseases that are treated by consumption of etoposide include Ewing sarcoma, Kaposi disease, rhabdomyosarcoma, soft tissue sarcoma, pediatric brain tumors, gastric cancer, Wilms tumor, multiple myeloma, hepatoma, adenocarcinoma and uterine cancer.

Etoposide acts by inhibiting the activity of topoisomerase II which is responsible for uncoiling of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and thus affects the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) replication and repair. Etoposide is usually administered in combination with various antineoplastic drugs such as cisplatin that have different modes of action. Etoposide is administered in the patient’s body through oral and intravenous routes. Intravenous administration of etoposide is given under the supervision of a doctor since overdose of the same might result in malfunctioning of human body. Etoposide solution for injection is available in 5 mL vial, 25 mL vial and 50 mL vial, and the dose is 20 mg/mL. Etoposide injections are usually given to patients whose cancer condition have not improved or have worsened post radiation treatment or other medications.
