RESINS
•Resins are amorphous product of complex chemical nature.
• Resins are mixtures of essential oils, oxygenated products of terpene and
carboxylic acids found as exudations from the trunk of various trees.
• These are normally produced either in schizogenous or in schizolysigenous ducts or
in cavities and are regarded as the end products of metabolism.

RESINS
GENERALPROPERTIES:
• They are found to be translucent or transparent solid, semisolid or liquid substances.
• Most of the resins are heavier than water.
• They are water insoluble but mostly soluble in alcohol, volatile oil, fixed oils, chloral
hydrate and non polar organic solvents like benzene or ether.
• They are hard, electrically non-conductive and combustible masses.
• Chemically, they contain organic acids, alcohols, and esters.

PODOPHYLOTOXIN
BIOLOGICALSOURCE:
• Podophylotoxin is the lactone resin.
• It is present in the root and rhizome of Podophyllum hexandrum and Podophyllum
emodi, Family – Berberidaceae
• Podophyllum resin contains not less than 40% and not more than 50% of
podophyllotoxin.
