Etoposide phosphate is a water-soluble derivative and prodrug of etoposide, functioning as a potent anti-cancer chemotherapy agent and a selective topoisomerase II inhibitor. It prevents re-ligation of DNA strands and induces cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and autophagy, making it suitable for various research applications.
