Abstract: Colchicine has multiple mechanisms of action that affect inflammatory processes and result in its utility for treating and preventing acute gout flare. Other chronic inflammatory diseases that invoke these molecular pathways may represent new therapeutic applications for colchicine.

“…Colchicine efficacy is derived from modulation of several anti-inflammatory pathways associated with gout [2]. It binds to tubulin dimers, thus preventing microtubule assembly and thereby disrupts the NACHT, LRR, and PYD domaincontaining protein 3 (NALP3) inflammasome-driven caspase-1 activation and IL-1β processing, microtubule-based inflammatory cell chemotaxis, generation of leukotrienes and cytokines, and phagocytosis.…”

“…Colchicine is the mainstay of FMF treatment because it reduces the attack frequency and duration in most patients (Eisenstein et al 2013;Zemer et al 1974;Dalbeth et al 2014). Regular colchicine is quite effective in controlling FMF attacks.…”
