When heated to decomposition, colchicine emits toxic fumes of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides.
Colchicine is found to be metabolized in the liver and demethylated to major metabolites, which include 2-O-demethylcolchicine and 3-O-demethylcolchicine, and one minor metabolite, 10-O-demethylcolchicine (colchiceine). According to in vitro studies, CYP3A4 metabolizes colchicine to 2- and 3-demethylcolchicine.
Colchicine undergoes some hepatic metabolism. Colchicine is partially deacetylated in the liver. Large amounts of colchicine and of its metabolites undergo enterohepatic circulation. This may explain the occurrence of a second plasma peak concentration observed 5 to 6 hours after ingestion.
Three novel conjugation metabolites of colchicine were identified in rat bile facilitated by enhanced on-line liquid chromatography-accurate radioisotope counting. The known 2- and 3-demethylcolchicines (DMCs) underwent O-sulfate conjugation in addition to the previously described O-glucuronidation. 2-DMC was preferably O-glucuronidated, whereas 3-DMC predominantly yielded O-sulfation conjugates, indicating phase II conjugation regiopreferences. Moreover, M1 was identified as a novel glutathione conjugate and a possible biotransformation pathway for its formation was proposed. The known 2-DMC (M6), 3-DMC (M7), 2-DMC glucuronide (M4), and novel 3-DMC sulfate (M3) were confirmed as the major metabolites. ...
Probably hepatic. Although colchicine metabolites have not been identified in humans, metabolism by mammalian hepatic microsomes has been demonstrated in vitro.
Route of Elimination: In healthy volunteers (n=12) 40 - 65% of 1 mg orally administered colchicine was recovered unchanged in urine.
Enterohepatic recirculation and biliary excretion are also postulated to play a role in colchicine elimination.
Half Life: Elimination half-life is approximately 1 hour in healthy subjects, although a study with an extended sampling time reported mean terminal elimination half-life values of approximately 9 to 10.5 hours. Other studies have reported half-life values of approximately 2 hours in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis and approximately 2.5 hours in patients with familial Mediterranean fever.
IDENTIFICATION: Colchicine is an antigout preparations. Colchicine is available as tablets and, in some countries, as injectable solutions. Colchicine is an alkaloid of Colchicum autumnale (autumn crocus, meadow saffron). Colchicum is also present in Gloriosa superba. Colchicine is a pale yellow odorless powder or scales. It darkens on exposure to light. Colchicine is used for acute gout attacks to reduce pain and inflammation. It may be used on long-term basis to prevent or reduce the frequency of attacks. Colchicine is used on long-term basis to prevent fever and recurrent polyserositis. Colchicine is effective in preventing the amyloidosis in this condition. Colchicine has been showed to be effective in the treatment of articular, cutaneous and mucosal symptoms. Colchicine has been used in the treatment of scleroderma and sarcoidosis. HUMAN EXPOSURE: Main risks and target organs: Colchicine exerts a multiorgan toxicity. The main toxic effects are related to the effects of colchicine on cellular division and account for diarrhea, bone marrow depression, alopecia. Other acute effects are hypovolemia, shock, and coagulation disturbances, which may lead to death. Summary of clinical effects: Toxic manifestations appear after a delay of 2 to 12 hours following ingestion or parenteral administration. Symptomatology progresses in three stages: Stage I (Day 1 to 3) gastrointestinal and circulatory phase: Severe gastrointestinal irritation: Nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, severe diarrhea. Dehydration, hypovolemia, shock. Cardiogenic shock may occur and may result in death within the first 72 hours. Hypoventilation, acute respiratory distress syndrome. Stage II (Day 3 to 10) bone marrow aplasia phase: Bone marrow aplasia with agranulocytosis. Coagulation disorders with diffuse hemorrhages. Rhabdomyolysis, polyneuritis, myopathy, acute renal failure and infections. Stage III: (After 10 day) recovery phase: Alopecia. Routes of entry: Oral: Oral absorption is the most frequent cause of intoxication. Parenteral: Intoxications after parenteral administration are rare, however, the toxic dose appears to be lower than the oral toxic dose. A fatal bone marrow aplasia in a 70 year-old man after 10 mg intravenous colchicine over 5 days. Intoxication with multisystemic reactions after instillation of colchicine into the penile urethra for treatment of condyloma acuminata. Absorption by route of exposure: Oral: Rapidly absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract. Peak plasma concentration is reached 0.5 to 2 hours after ingestion. Half time of absorption is 15 minutes. Absorption may be modified by pH, gastric contents, intestinal motility. Colchicine is not totally absorbed. There is an important hepatic first pass effect. Colchicine distributes in a space larger than that of the body. In severe renal or liver diseases the volume of distribution is smaller. Colchicine accumulates in kidney, liver, spleen, gastro-intestinal wall and leucocytes and is apparently excluded in heart, brain, skeletal muscle. Colchicine crosses the placenta and has also been found in maternal milk. Biological half-life by route of exposure: Parenteral: After a single 2 mg intravenous dose the average plasma half-life is 20 minutes. Plasma half-life is increased in severe renal disease (40 min) and decreased in severe hepatic disease (9 min). Oral: After oral administration plasma concentrations reach a peak within 0.5 to 2 hours and afterwards decrease rapidly within 2 hours. The plasma half-life is 60 minutes. Colchicine may remain in tissues for as long as 10 days. Metabolism: Colchicine undergoes some hepatic metabolism. Colchicine is partially deacetylated in the liver. Large amounts of colchicine and of its metabolites undergo enterohepatic circulation. This may explain the occurrence of a second plasma peak concentration observed 5 to 6 hours after ingestion. Elimination by route of exposure: Colchicine is excreted unchanged (10 to 20 percent) or as metabolites. Oral: Urinary excretion amount to 16 to 47% of an administered dose. 50 to 70% of colchicine is excreted unchanged and 30 to 50% as metabolites. 20% of the dose administered is excreted in urine in the first 24 hours and 27.5% in the first 48 hours. Colchicine is detected in urine up to 7 to 10 days after ingestion. Urinary excretion is increased in patients with impaired hepatic function. Bile: 10 to 25% of colchicine is excreted in the bile. Feces: Large amounts of the drug are excreted in the feces. Breast Milk: Colchicine may be eliminated in breast milk. Intravenous: Feces: After intravenous administration 10 to 56% is excreted in the feces within the first 48 hours. Breast Milk: Colchicine may be eliminated in breast milk. Mode of action: Colchicine binds to tubulin and this prevents its polymerization into microtubules. The binding is reversible and the half-life of the colchicine-tubulin complex is 36 hours. Colchicine impairs the different cellular functions of the microtubule: separation of chromosome pairs during mitosis (because colchicine arrests mitosis in metaphase), ameboid movements, phagocytosis. Mitosis blockade accounts for diarrhoea, bone marrow depression and alopecia. Colchicine may have a direct toxic effect on muscle, peripheral nervous system and liver. Inhibition of cellular function does not, however, account for all the organ failures seen in severe overdose. Pharmacodynamics: Gout inflammation is initiated by urate crystals within tissues. The crystals are ingested by neutrophils but this leads to the release of enzymes and the destruction of the cells. Chemotactic factors are released and attract more neutrophils. Colchicine may act by preventing phagocytosis, the release of chemotactic factors and the response of neutrophils. Colchicine has other properties such as antipyretic effects, respiratory depression, vasoconstriction and hypertension. Adults: Oral: The severity and the mortality rate of the poisoning is directly related to the dose ingested. Intravenous: A fatal bone marrow aplasia in a 70-year-old patient is reported. The enhanced toxicity of intravenous colchicine is probably due to the higher bioavailability of colchicine after parenteral administration. Teratogenicity: Colchicine is contraindicated in pregnancy as Down's syndrome and spontaneous abortion have been reported. Colchicine should be discontinued three months prior to conception. Interactions: A case of acute cyclosporin nephrotoxicity induced by colchicine administration has been reported. Colchicine may interfere with cyclosporin pharmacokinetics by increasing cyclosporin plasma levels either by enhancing cyclosporin absorption or by reducing its hepatic metabolism. Main adverse effects: Gastrointestinal symptoms are a common complication of chronic colchicine therapy. Fatal outcomes have been reported after intravenous colchicine therapy. Gastrointestinal: vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort, paralytic ileus, malabsorption syndrome with steatorrhea. Hematological: Bone marrow depression with agranulocytosis, acute myelomonocytic leukaemia, multiple myeloma, thrombocytopenia. Neurological: Peripheral neuritis, myopathy and rhabdomyolysis. Dermatological: Allergic reactions are rare urticaria; oedema may be seen. Alopecia has been reported after chronic treatment. Reproductive system: A reversible, complete azoospermia has been reported. Metabolic: Colchicine is capable of producing a reversible impairment of vitamin B12 absorption. Porphyria cutanea tarda has been reported. Others: Hyperglycemia has been reported in a 58-year-old woman who ingested colchicine and developed transient diabetes mellitus has been reported. Hyperlipemia: A transient hyperlipemia has been reported. Hyperuricemia: A transient hyperuricemia has also been noted. Hyperthermia-fever: Occurrence of fever may be relate to an infectious complication, especially during the stage of aplasia. Special risks: Pregnancy: Two cases of Down's syndrome babies have been reported. The obstetric histories of 36 women with familial Mediterranean fever on long-term colchicine treatment between 3 and 12 years have been reported. Seven of 28 pregnancies ended in miscarriage. Thirteen women had periods of infertility. All 16 infants born to mothers who had taken colchicine during pregnancy were healthy. The authors do not advise discontinuation of colchicine before planned pregnancy but recommend amniocentesis for karyotyping and reassurance. Breast-feeding: As colchicine is eliminated in the breast milk breast-feeding should be avoided.
Colchicine inhibits microtubule assembly in various cells, including leukocytes, probably by binding to and interfering with polymerization of the microtubule subunit tubulin. Although some studies have found that this action probably does not contribute significantly to colchicine's antigout action, a recent in vitro study has shown that it may be at least partially involved.

◉ Summary of Use during Lactation:Long-term prophylactic maternal doses of colchicine up to 1.5 mg daily produce levels in milk that result in the infant receiving less than 10% of the maternal weight-adjusted dosage. The highest milk levels occur 2 to 4 hours after a dose, so avoiding breastfeeding during this time can minimize the infant dose, although some clinicians simply recommend taking the drug after nursing. No adverse effects in breastfed infants have been reported in case series and a case-control study and many experts and professional guidelines consider colchicine safe during breastfeeding in women being treated for familial Mediterranean fever or rheumatic conditions.
◉ Effects in Breastfed Infants:In 4 infants whose mothers were taking 1 to 1.5 mg of colchicine daily prophylactically for familial Mediterranean fever, no apparent effects were noted on clinical follow-up over at least 10 months. The authors also reported that they recalled another 6 women who breastfed their infants for at least 3 months during colchicine therapy (dosage not stated) and follow-up for at least 2 years revealed no clinical or developmental problems.
An infant was breastfed (extent not stated) for 6 months during maternal intake of colchicine 0.6 mg twice daily. No apparent adverse effects were noted.
In a study of mothers who took colchicine during pregnancy, 111 of 181 mothers reported breastfeeding (extent not stated) their infants. None of the infants reportedly had colchicine-related adverse effects.
A case-control study compared 37 women who took colchicine during breastfeeding their 38 infants to a matched control group of 75 mothers who had taken amoxicillin, but were unexposed to colchicine, and their 76 breastfed infants. Telephone follow-up occurred at 6 to 48 months (average 28 months) after the initial inquiry. Among the colchicine-exposed group, 76% of infants were exclusively breastfed and the mean overall duration of breastfeeding was 9.1 months. No increased risk of adverse effects was noted in the colchicine-exposed infants compared to the control infants. Specifically, no differences in gastrointestinal symptoms, or growth and development parameters were seen.
Ten nursing mothers who were being treated with colchicine were reported. None of them had any pathology reported.
A woman was treated with anakinra 100 mg subcutaneously and oral colchicine 1 mg twice daily during pregnancy and postpartum for familial Mediterranean fever while she breastfed her infant (extent not specified). At 9 months of age, the infant’s development was within normal range. The routine vaccination schedule for the baby was being performed on time and there was no history of infection in the infant.
◉ Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk:Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date.
Colchicine is rapidly absorbed after oral administration, probably from the jejunum and ileum. However, the rate and extent of absorption are variable, depending on the tablet dissolution rate; variability in gastric emptying, intestinal motility, and pH at the absorption site; and the extent to which colchicine is bound to microtubules in gastrointestinal mucosal cells.
Colchicine is rapidly absorbed after oral administration from the gastrointestinal tract. During a pharmacokinetic study, a mean Cmax of 2.5 ng/mL was achieved within 1-2 h (range 0.5 to three hours) after an orally administered dose of colchicine. The bioavailability of colchicine is about 45%, according to the FDA label, however, another reference indicates that the bioavailability is highly variable, ranging from 24 to 88%. In a multiple-dose study of colchicine administration at a dose of 1 mg per day, steady-state concentrations were achieved by 8 days following administration.
In a pharmacokinetic study of healthy research subjects(n=12), 40% to 65% of a 1 mg oral colchicine dose was measured as unchanged drug in the urine. Both enterohepatic recirculation and biliary excretion are routes which are involved with the excretion of colchicine.
According to the FDA label, the mean apparent volume of distribution in young and healthy patients is calculated to be about 5-8 L/kg. It is known to cross the placenta and to distribute into the breast milk. Colchicine has been found to distribute to various tissues but mainly into the bile, liver, and kidney tissues. Smaller amounts have been detected in the heart, lungs, intestinal tissue, and stomach.
The FDA label reports a clearance of and 0.0292 ± 0.0071 to 0.0321 ± 0.0091 mL/min after a single oral dose of one 0.6 mg of colchicine. Patients with end-stage renal impairment showed a 75% lower clearance of colchicine. In a pharmacokinetic study of patients with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF), the apparent mean clearance was calculated at 0.726 ± 0.110 L/h/kg.
The absorption of colchicine is rapid but variable. Peak plasma concentrations occur 0.5 to 2 hours after dosing. In plasma, 50% of colchicine is protein-bound. There is significant enterohepatic circulation. The exact metabolism of colchicine is unknown but seems to involve deacetylation by the liver. Only 10% to 20% is excreted in the urine, although this increases in patients with liver disease. The kidney, liver, and spleen also contain high concentrations of colchicine, but it apparently is largely excluded from heart, skeletal muscle, and brain. The plasma half-life of colchicine is approximately 9 hours, but it can be detected in leukocytes and in the urine for at least 9 days after a single intravenous dose.
Biological effects of modified colchicines. Improved preparation of 2-demethylcolchicine, 3-demethylcolchicine, and (+)-colchicine and reassignment of the position of the double bond in dehydro-7-deacetamidocolchicines
摘要:
A variety of colchicine, demecolcine, and isocolchicine derivatives were examined for their potency in the lymphocytic leukemia P388 screen in mice, for their toxicity in mice, and for their binding to microtubule protein. A qualitatively direct correlation was found between in vivo potency and toxicity; potency appeared to be less well correlated with tubulin binding. The most potent compounds were N-acylated analogues of colchicine and demecolcine. Among the monophenols, only 3-demethylcolchicine showed an appreciable effect in vitro and in vivo and was less toxic than colchicine. Improved methods were found for the preparation of 3- and 2-demethylcolchicine, which involved the use of 85% phosphoric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid, respectively. Decoupling experiments with 1H NMR proved that the double bond of dehydro-7-deacetamidocolchiceine and its derived tropolonic methyl ethers 24 and 25 was in the 5,6 position, rather than the 6,7 position formerly tentatively assigned.

(+)-Thiocolchicine (2b) was prepared from (+/-)-colchicine (1) in a five-step reaction sequence that included chromatographic separation of appropriate camphanylated diastereomers. Acid hydrolysis of the (+)-diastereomer, followed by acetylation, yielded the desired product 2b. (+)-Thiocolchicine has 15-fold lower inhibitory activity against tubulin polymerization than (-)-thiocolchicine, and is 29-fold less potent for inhibiting growth of human Burkitt lymphoma cells. The enantiomer 2a, prepared from the (-)-camphanylated diastereomer, had potent activity in all assays comparable to that of (-)-thiocolchicine prepared by other methods. These results support the hypothesis that the proper configuration of colchicine-related compounds is an important requirement for their anti-tubulin action. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
