MedKoo Cat#: 581545 | Name: Trimethylcolchicinic acid

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Trimethylcolchicinic acid, a derivative of colchicine, exerts its biological effects by binding to tubulin and inhibiting microtubule polymerization, disrupting cell division and cytoskeletal functions. This mechanism makes it a potential antimitotic agent, similar to colchicine, with applications in cancer research and inflammatory disease treatment. Its primary biological target is the microtubule network, leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in rapidly dividing cells. While its pharmaceutical potential remains under investigation, its structural modifications may offer improved efficacy or reduced toxicity compared to colchicine.
