Solubility (25°C)* In vitro DMSO 80 mg/mL (200.28 mM)
Water 80 mg/mL (200.28 mM)
Ethanol 80 mg/mL (200.28 mM)
In vivo (Add solvents to the product individually and in order)
Clear solution
5%DMSO 40%PEG300 5%Tween80 50%ddH2O
4.0mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 80 mg/ml clarified DMSO stock solution to 400 μL of PEG300, mix evenly to clarify it; add 50 μL of Tween80 to the above system, mix evenly to clarify; then continue to add 500 μL of ddH2O to adjust the volume to 1 mL. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
Clear solution
5% DMSO 95% Corn oil
0.4mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 8 mg/ml clear DMSO stock solution to 950 μL of corn oil and mix evenly. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble.
* Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations.
* Room temperature shipping (Stability testing shows this product can be shipped without any cooling measures.)

Biological Activity

Description Colchicine is a microtubule polymerization inhibitor with an IC50 of 3 nM.
In vitro

Colchicine is a tubulin inhibitor and a microtubule disrupting agent, which inhibits the tubulin polymerization on the site of β-tubulin.[1]

In vivo

Colchicine prevents NSAID-induced small intestinal injury by inhibiting activation of the NLR family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome.[2]

Protocol (from reference)

Cell Assay:

[1]

  • Cell lines

    HeLa cells

  • Concentrations

    5 μM

  • Incubation Time

    2 h

  • Method

    HeLa cells are cultured in 6-well plates and then treated with or without different concentrations of KXO1, vinblastine, or colchicine for 2 h before being treated with 100 μM EBI for another 2 h. Total protein is extracted with radioimmuno_x0002_precipitation assay buffer and subjected to Western blot analy_x0002_sis of β-tubulin. GAPDH is used as a loading control. The Western blotting procedure is performed.
