Colchicine, 98%
Microtubule disrupting agent, and induces apoptosis in human lymphoma cells | CAS: 64-86-8 | C22H25NO6 | 399.44 g/mol
Supplier: Thermo Scientific Chemicals J6107206
Description
Colchicine is most commonly used to treat gout. It is an inhibitor of microtubule polymerization which blocks chromosome segregation during meiosis. Consequently, it is used to induce polyploidy (tetraploid) in plant cells. It is an antimitotic agent that disrupts microtubules by binding to tubulin and preventing its polymerization. Stimulates the intrinsic GTPase activity of tubulin. Induces apoptosis in several normal and tumor cell lines and activates the JNK/SAPK signaling pathway.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
