Colchicine(Cat No.:I004443)is a potent alkaloid derived from the plant Colchicum autumnale, commonly used in the treatment of gout and familial Mediterranean fever. It functions by inhibiting microtubule polymerization, disrupting mitosis and inflammatory cell movement, which helps to reduce pain and inflammation in affected tissues. Colchicine’s mechanism of action also involves modulating inflammatory pathways, making it effective in various inflammatory conditions. Despite its therapeutic benefits, colchicine can have side effects, necessitating careful dosing and monitoring. Ongoing research explores its potential applications in other diseases, including cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disorders.
