This union prevents the polymerization of tubulin, a necessary process for the assembly of microtubules. At higher concentrations, podophyllotoxin also inhibits the transport of nucleosides through the cell membrane. It is accepted that the chemotherapeutic action of podophyllotoxin is due to the growth inhibition cell and its ability to invade the tissue of cells infected by the virus.
