Colchicine

We are offering colchicine.
Colchicine is a major from colchicum autumnale l. And found also in other colchicum species. Its primary therapeutic use is in the treatment of gout, but it has been used also in the therapy of familial mediterranean fever (periodic disease). The mechanism of action of colchicine is as a cytochrome p450 3a4 inhibitor and p-glycoprotein interaction.
Colchicine is an isolated from colchicum autumnale with anti-gout and anti-inflammatory activities. The exact mechanism of action by which colchicines exerts its effect has not been completely established. Colchicine binds to tubulin, thereby interfering with the polymerization of tubulin, interrupting microtubule dynamics, and disrupting mitosis. This leads to an inhibition of migration of leukocytes and other inflam- matory cells, thereby reducing the inflammatory response to deposited urate crystals. Colchicine may also interrupt the cycle of monosodium urate crystal deposition in joint tissues, thereby also preventing the resultant inflammatory response. Overall, colchicine decreases leuko- cyte chemotaxismigration and phagocytosis to inflamed areas, and inhibits the formation and release of a chemotactic glycoprotein that is produced during phagocytosis of uratecrystals.
