Colchicine, a tubulin inhibitor, which block polymerization of microtubules by binding to tubulin (IC50 = 3.2 μM).
Tubulin is one of several members of a small family of globular proteins. The tubulin superfamily includes five distinct families. To form microtubules, the dimers of α- and β-tubulin bind to GTP and assemble onto the (+) ends of microtubules while in the GTP-bound state.[1] The β-tubulin subunit is exposed on the plus end of the microtubule while the α-tubulin subunit is exposed on the minus end. After the dimer is incorporated into the microtubule, the molecule of GTP bound to the β-tubulin subunit eventually hydrolyzes into GDP through inter-dimer contacts along the microtubule protofilament.[2] This is the GTP cycle which is essential for the dynamic instability of the microtubule.
Colchicine inhibits microtubule polymerization by binding to tubulin, one of the main constituents of microtubules. Availability of tubulin is essential to mitosis, and therefore colchicine effectively functions as a "mitotic poison" or spindle poison.[3] So mitosis can be stopped before it completes near the middle of mitosis (specifically metaphase) in the cell cycle. Apart from inhibiting mitosis, colchicine also inhibits neutrophil motility and activity, leading to a net anti-inflammatory effect in 5 μmol/kg in a mouse model of gouty arthritis and inhibits the deposition of uric acid, a key aspect in the treatment of gout.[4] Side-effects include gastrointestinal upset and neutropenia. High doses can also damage bone marrow and lead to anemia and also cause hair loss.[5]

Cell experiment:[1]
Cell lines	Rat cerebellar granule cells (CGCs)
Reaction Conditions	1 μM colchicine for 12 ~ 24 h incubation
Applications	Exposure to 1 μM colchicine, a microtubule disrupting agent, triggered apoptosis in rat CGCs. Apoptotic nuclei began to appear after 12 h followed by oligonucleosomal DNA laddering, whereas inhibition of the mitochondrial 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazoliumbromide metabolism became significant between 18 and 24 h, when most cells already had apoptotic nuclei.
Animal experiment:[2]
Animal models	Male C57BL/J6 mice, aged 8 ~ 12 weeks
Dosage form	5 μmol/kg Administered orally
Applications	Oral colchicine inhibited monosodium urate (MSU)-induced superoxide production by neutrophils in vivo at doses 100 times lower than those required to inhibit neutrophil infiltration and without acute liver or renal toxicity. Neutrophils treated with colchicine in vivo still produced superoxide in response to another stimulus, 4-β-phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate. These results show a beneficial effect of colchicine for the treatment of MSU-induced superoxide production in vivo at sub-toxic doses without compromising superoxide production by other physiological processes.
