Alleviation of podophyllotoxin toxicity using coexisting flavonoids from Dysosma versipellis.

Podophyllotoxin (POD) is a lignan-type toxin existing in many herbs used in folk medicine. Until now, no effective strategy is available for the management of POD intoxication. This study aims to determine the protective effects of ﬂavonoids (quercetin and kaempferol) on POD-induced toxicity. In Ver...
