There is one exact (name or code) match for colchicine

 
Status:

Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ABSOLUTE)

Targets:


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.

Targets:


Podofilox ((abbreviated as PPT), otherwise known as podofilox) is an antimitotic drug which can be chemically synthesized or purified from the plant families Coniferae and Berberidaceae (e.g. species of Juniperus and Podophyllum). Podofilox 0.5% solution is indicated for the topical treatment of external genital warts (Condyloma acuminatum). This product is not indicated in the treatment of perianal or mucous membrane warts. Treatment of genital warts with podofilox results in necrosis of visible wart tissue. The exact mechanism of action is unknown, but is believed to exert its antimitotic effect by binding to tubulin, at a site close to but not identical to the binding site of colchicine; it is thought that this antimitotic effect causes necrosis of wart tissue, the observed clinical effect. In addition, podofilox is known to interfere with nucleoside transport, which may also contribute to its action. Adverse effects reported in less than 5% of the patients included pain with intercourse, insomnia, tingling, bleeding, tenderness, chafing, malodor, dizziness, scarring, vesicle formation, crusting edema, dryness/peeling, foreskin irretraction, hematuria, vomiting and ulceration.

Methyl salicylate (or methyl 2-hydroxybenzoate), also known as wintergreen oil, is a natural product and is present in white wine, tea, porcini mushroom Boletus edulis, Bourbon vanilla, clary sage, red sage and fruits including cherry, apple, raspberry, papaya and plum. Methyl salicylate is topically used in combination with methanol and under brand name SALONPAS to temporarily relieves mild to moderate aches and pains of muscles and joints associated with: strains, sprains, simple backache, arthritis, bruises. The precise mechanism of action of methyl salicylate is not known, but there is suggested, that it cause dilation of the capillaries thereby increasing blood flow to the area.

Targets:

Crolibulin is a tubulin-disrupting agent, interacting at the colchicine-binding site, developed by EpiCept Corporation (which was later acquired by Immune Pharmaceuticals). The compound exhibits anti-cancer effect by vascular disruption and inhibition of apoptosis. In preclinical animal tumor models, combination therapy with crolibulin has demonstrated the synergistic activity with cytotoxic drugs as well as anti-angiogenic drugs, such as Avastin. The drug was investigated in clinical trials for the treatment of anaplastic thyroid cancer and has demonstrated a positive effect.
Plinabulin (formerly known as NPI-2358) is a potent microtubule-destabilizing agent that exerts its effect by binding to the colchicine-binding site of tubulin. Plinabulin projects its potent antitumor activity against a broad spectrum of tumor cell lines. This drug in combination with docetaxel is under development by BeyondSpring Pharmaceuticals in a worldwide Phase 3 clinical trial for non-small cell lung cancer. Pegfilgrastim is also in phase II clinical trial for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, where docetaxel, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide (TAC) were used as the chemotherapy. Plinabulin also possessed antitumor activity in animal models with multiple myeloma cancer cells, where the JNK protein appeared to be a primary target of plinabulin.

Mivobulin is a synthetic water-soluble colchicine analog with the broad antitumor activity that competitively binds tubulin at the colchicine-binding site and inhibits tubulin polymerization. Cancer cells exposed to Mivobulin isethionate accumulate in the M phase of the cell cycle and subsequently die. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that Mivobulin isethionate is able to cross the blood-brain barrier. Importantly, Mivobulin isethionate demonstrated significant antitumor activity in a broad spectrum of murine and human tumor models that were cross-resistant to vincristine, cisplatin, vinblastine, navelbine, and doxorubicin and in tumor cell lines exhibiting multidrug resistance owing to P-glycoprotein overexpression. In animal studies, the activity of Mivobulin isethionate was largely independent of the route of drug administration but favored a prolonged treatment schedule. Unfortunately, in clinical trials, Mivobulin fail to demonstrate the significant activity

INN:denibulin [INN]

Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ABSOLUTE)

Denibulin is a novel antineoplastic agent. Denibulin selectively targets and reversibly binds to the colchicine-binding site on tubulin and inhibits microtubule assembly. This results in the disruption of the cytoskeleton of tumor endothelial cells, ultimately leading to cell cycle arrest, blockage of cell division and apoptosis. This causes inadequate blood flow to the tumor and eventually leads to a decrease in tumor cell proliferation. Denibulin hydrochloride had been in phase I clinical trials for the treatment of solid tumours. It was generally well tolerated and showed decrease in tumor vascular parameters. However, no recent development has been reported.
Batabulin or T138067 (2-fluoro-1-methoxy-4-pentafluorophenylsulfonamidobenzene) covalently and selectively modifies the beta1, beta2, and beta4 isotypes of beta-tubulin at a conserved cysteine residue, thereby disrupting microtubule polymerization. Cells exposed to batabulin become altered in shape, indicating a collapse of the cytoskeleton, and show an increase in chromosomal ploidy. Batabulin is equally efficacious in inhibiting the growth of sensitive and multidrug-resistant human tumor xenografts in athymic nude mice. Batabulin has been in clinical trials for the treatment of cancers (breast cancer, colorectal cancer, glioma, hepatocellular carcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer). It does not have clinical activity in the treatment of colorectal cancer and glioma. Batabulin development was discontinued.

ABT-751 is an orally bioavailable antimitotic sulfonamide, which binds to the colchicine-binding site on beta-tubulin and inhibits the polymerization of microtubules, leads to a block in the cell cycle at the G2M phase, resulting in cellular apoptosis. ABT-751 had been in phase Ⅱ clinical studies for the treatment of breast cancer; colorectal cancer; non-small cell lung cancer; renal cancer, prostate cancer, but these researches have been discontinued.
