Etoposide

Fabricate a 3D molecular structure model of the cancer drug Etoposide from Genuine Molymod Model Parts by Indigo.

Etoposide is characterized in the drug class of topoisomerase inhibitor’s. It was first synthesized in 1966 and in 1983 it gained FDA approval. Etoposide is also known as VP-16, Toposar®, VePesid®, and Etopophos® and is used as a cytotoxic (toxic to cells) anticancer drug in chemotherapy.
