Product Description



Etoposide is a high-purity pharmaceutical-grade antineoplastic agent primarily used for cancer treatment, including testicular cancer, lung cancer, leukemia, and lymphoma. Presented as a white to off-white crystalline powder, it is odorless and sparingly soluble in water, but freely soluble in methanol and dimethylformamide. Its molecular formula is C29H32O13, giving it a molecular weight of 588.56 g/mol. The product has a purity level of 99%, with heavy metal content 0.001%. It features a melting point of 230-235C, where it decomposes, and loss on drying is 1.0%. Etoposide is highly sensitive to light and should be stored in a tightly closed container at 2-8C to retain its efficacy for a shelf life of 2 years under optimal storage conditions. This toxic compound is manufactured to meet stringent safety standards and requires careful handling.
