Podophyllotoxin was produced by cell culture of Podophyllum hexandrum under in vitro culture conditions. A maximum of 4.26 mg/L of podophyllotoxin was produced when P. hexandrum was cultivated in 3 L stirred tank bioreactor. The compound extracted from the cell culture was applied to the human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) and 1 nM podophyllotoxin was able to inhibit the growth of the cancer cells by 50%. The most profound inhibitory effect of podophyllotoxin was observed when it was applied in the beginning of cell growth.
