Colchicine C093-500MG

产品介绍

Colchicine is a classic mitotic inhibitor, disrupting cell division by preventing assembly of microtubules in the mitotic spindle via inhibition of tubulin polymerization.  It has pleiotropic effects; It is an anti-inflammatory agent and has been used for Gout suppression, and other inflammatory conditions such as familial Mediterranean fever.  It can also induce apoptosis in a variety of cells and is used in cancer research as a chemotherapeutic agent.   It is also used in cytogenetics to study chromosomes.  Recently, Colchicine has been studied for potential therapeutic utility for COVID-19.

Colchicine was approved by the FDA in 2009, but its use dates back two centuries.  Papyri dated 1500 BC describe the Colchicine’s source plant- Colchicum automnale (autumn crocus) for pain and inflammation, making it one of the world’s oldest anti-inflammatory agents. 

There is a large body of data demonstrating Colchicine’s inhibitory effects on neutrophil activity, cytokine generation, and the inflammation/thrombosis interface.  It was found to have utility against SARS-CoV2 in the ColCorona clinical trial, a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter clinical trial of over 4500 participants in Canada.

Colchicine is sparingly soluble in DMSO and DMF.  It is slightly soluble in water and ethanol.
