Description: Inhibitor of tubulin
Chemical Name: (S)-N-(5,6,7,9-Tetrahydro-1,2,3,10-tetramethoxy-9-oxobenzo[a]heptalen-7-yl)acetamide
Purity: ≥98% (HPLC)
Biological Activity for Colchicine
Colchicine is a plant-derived alkaloid that binds to tubulin and depolymerizes microtubules. Identified as a candidate for repurposing for COVID-19. Inhibits NLRP3 inflammasomes. Also decreases TNF-α receptor expression and reduces cytokine levels in macrophages. Anti-inflammatory.
