<!--Definition and medical uses-->
'''Etoposide phosphate''' (brand names: '''Eposin''', '''Etopophos''', '''Vepesid''', '''VP-16''') is an anti-cancer agent. It is known in the laboratory as a topoisomerase poison. Etoposide is often incorrectly referred to as a topoisomerase inhibitor in order to avoid using the term "poison" in a clinical setting. Unlike enzyme inhibitors, it exploits the normal mechanism of action of the ] ], which aids in DNA unwinding, and by doing so causes DNA strands to break. Cancer cells rely on this enzyme more than healthy cells, since they divide more rapidly. It is used as a form of ] for cancers such as ], ], ], ], non-lymphocytic ], and ]. It is often given in combination with other drugs. It is also sometimes used in a conditioning regimen prior to a ] or ] transplant.
'''Etoposide''', sold under the brand name '''Vepesid''' among others, is a ] used for the treatments of a number of types of ] including ], ], ], ], ], and ].<ref name=AHFS2016/> It is also used for ].<ref>{{cite journal|vauthors = Yildiz H, Van Den Neste E, Defour JP, Danse E, Yombi JC|title = Adult haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis: a Review|journal = QJM|volume = 115|issue = 4|pages = 205–213|date = January 2020|pmid = 31943120|doi = 10.1093/qjmed/hcaa011|doi-access = free}}</ref> It is used by mouth or ].<ref name=AHFS2016/>

==Mechanism of Action== ==Medical uses==
Etoposide is used as a form of ] for cancers such as ], ], ], ], ], nonlymphocytic ], and ]. It is often given in combination with other drugs (such as ] in treating testicular cancer). It is also sometimes used in a conditioning regimen prior to a ] or ] transplant.<ref name="wow"/>

==Administration== ===Administration===
It is given intravenously or orally in capsule form. If the drug is given by IV it must be done slowly over a 30 to 60 minute period because it can lower ] as it is being administered. Blood pressure is checked often during infusing, with the speed of administration adjusted accordingly. It is given ] (IV) or orally in capsule or tablet form. If the drug is given IV, it must be done slowly over a 30- to 60-minute period because it can lower ] as it is being administered.<ref name="AHFS2016" /> Blood pressure is checked often during infusing, with the speed of administration adjusted accordingly.{{cn|date=December 2023}}


==Side effects==
In general, patients are advised to call their doctor in case of ], symptoms of ] or painful injection sites, as these may progress severely without adequate medical attention.

Patients are advised to drink large amounts of fluids after treatment to prevent damage to the ] and ]s, typically 1.5 to 3.5 litres of ] on the day of treatment and for several days after.

==Pharmacology==
===Mechanism of action===
Etoposide forms a ternary complex with ] and the ] enzyme, which is an enzyme that aids in relaxing negative or positive ]s in DNA. Topoisomerase II normally will form a double-stranded break in one DNA double-strand, allow another to pass through, and ] the broken strands. Etoposide's binding prevents topoisomerase II from ] the broken DNA strands, which causes the DNA breaks made by topoisomerase II to stay broken, and also prevents the topoisomerase II molecule from leaving the site and relieving tension elsewhere. This results in a double-strand break in the DNA that can have various deleterious effects on the cell, and depletion of topoisomerase II available to relieve further tension.<ref name="pmid20534341">{{cite journal|vauthors=Pommier Y, Leo E, Zhang H, Marchand C|title = DNA topoisomerases and their poisoning by anticancer and antibacterial drugs|journal = Chem.
