  • Scientific Description
    Anti-cancer compound [5]. Microtubule assembly inhibitor. Depolymerizes microtubules and limits microtubule formation (inactivates spindle fibre formation) [1, 2, 5, 6]. Inhibits mitosis during cell division at metaphase by inhibiting spindle formation [6]. Anti-inflammatory compound [7, 9]. Suppresses monosodium urate crystal-induced NLRP3/NALP3 inflammasome-driven caspase-1 activation, IL-1beta processing and release, and L-selectin expression on neutrophils at micromolar concentrations. Blocks the release of a crystal-derived chemotactic factor from neutrophil lysosomes, blocks neutrophil adhesion to, and inhibits monosodium urate crystal-induced production of superoxide anions from neutrophils at nanomolar concentrations [7]. Drug used in treatment of gout, familial Mediterranean fever, pericarditis and Behects disease. Investigated for its anti-cancer activity [5, 8, 9]. It has a narrow therapeutic index with no clear-cut distinction between nontoxic, toxic and lethal doses, causing substantial confusion among clinicians [8]. Apoptosis inducer in a variety of normal and tumor cell lines [3, 4]. Inhibitor of autophagosome-lysosome fusion. Inhibits acetylated a-tubulin mediated dynein dependent transport of mitochondria and subsequent apposition of ASC on mitochondria to NLRP3 on the endoplasmic reticulum in vitro and in vivo. - Chemical.
