Colchicine, a toxic plant-derived alkaloid extracted from plants of the genus Colchicum, inhibits microtubule polymerization (IC50 = 3.2 μM). It inhibits the growth of MCF-7 human breast carcinoma cells and has anti-inflammatory activity. Colchicine can lower body temperature, inhibit the respiratory center, enhance the effect of sympathomimetic drugs, constrict blood vessels, and raise blood pressure.

Properties
| Appearance | White to Yellow Solid |
| Antibiotic Activity Spectrum | Neoplastics (Tumor) |
| Boiling Point | 726.0±60.0°C at 760 mmHg |
| Melting Point | 150-160°C (dec.) |
| Density | 1.32 g/cm3 |
| Solubility | Slightly soluble in Chloroform, Methanol |

Toxicity
| Carcinogenicity | No indication of carcinogenicity to humans (not listed by IARC). |
| Mechanism Of Toxicity | Colchicine inhibits microtubule assembly in various cells, including leukocytes, probably by binding to and interfering with polymerization of the microtubule subunit tubulin. Although some studies have found that this action probably does not contribute significantly to colchicine's antigout action, a recent in vitro study has shown that it may be at least partially involved. |

Rationale<: Inflammasome activation, with subsequent release of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18, has recently been implicated in atherosclerosis-associated inflammation.

BACKGROUND: There is a clinical need for immunosuppressive therapy that can treat myocarditis patients in the presence of an active viral infection. In this study we therefore investigated the effects of colchicine, an immunosuppressive drug which has been used successfully as treatment for pericarditis patients, in a mouse model of coxsackievirus B3(CVB3)-induced myocarditis.
3.Pyridine Based Antitumour Compounds Acting at the Colchicine Site.
Álvarez R, Aramburu L, Puebla P, Caballero E, González M, Vicente A, Medarde M, Peláez R1. Curr Med Chem. 2016;23(11):1100-30.
Antimitotics binding at the colchicine site of tubulin are important antitumour and vascular disrupting agents. Pyridines and azines are privileged scaffolds in medicinal chemistry and in recent years many colchicine site ligands (CSL) have incorporated them into their structures with the aim of improving their pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics properties. CSL have been classified according to their chemical structures and the chemical structures of the pyridine and azine containing antimitotic compounds are described. The designed principles behind the structural modifications and the achieved effect on the biological activity upon inclusion of these heterocycles are also discussed. Lessons from the achievements and failures have been extracted and future perspectives delineated.
