Description

Colchicine is an anti-inflammatory anti-mitotic compound originally found in Colchicum; it is clinically used to treat gout. Colchicine binds tubulin and inhibits microtubule polymerization, inhibiting inflammasome activation, cytokine generation, and chemotaxis. Colchicine inhibits neutrophil motility. The anticancer potential of colchicine is limited by its high toxicity.
