Description
Sources: https://www.drugs.com/pro/colchicine.html

Colchicine is an alkaloid obtained from the plant colchicum autumnale (also known as "meadow saffron"). Colchicine is an alternative medication for those unable to tolerate NSAIDs in gout. Mechanism of action of colchicine is inhibition of microtubule polymerization by binding to tubulin. Availability of tubulin is essential to mitosis, so colchicine effectively unctions as a "mitotic poison" or spindle poison.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

For prophylaxis of gout flares, the recommended dosage of Colchicine capsules is 0.6 mg once or twice daily. The maximum dose is 1.2 mg per day. Colchicine capsules are administered orally, without regard to meals.

Route of Administration: Oral

In Vitro Use Guide

Inhibition of the polymerization of brain tubulin was evaluated. Solution of compound in DMSO in serial dilutions was prepared. Reaction mixture contained 0.25 mg of tubulin, 1.0 M monosodium glutamate and approptiate drug concentrations. The reaction mixtures were incubated at 37 °C for 15 min to allow slow binding drugs like colchicine to bind to the tubulin. The reaction mixtures were then chilled on ice, and the polymerization reaction was followed turbidimetrically for 20 min. Polymer formation was confirmed by evaluation of depolymerization at 0°C. Extent of inhibition of polymerization at 20 min in drug-treated samples was always calculated by comparing them to a pair of drug-free samples in each experimental set.
