“…Colchicine at 10 -3 and 10-4M prevented the initial increase in oxygen uptake. These observations agree with previous reports of inhibition of oxygen consumption by the chemical [8,16,17].…”

“…Initially in hepatic tissues there was no inhibition of metabolic processes; however, upon further application, protein synthesis was inhibited [20]. There are several reports that colchicine inhibits oxygen consumption in a variety of tissues [8,16,17]. Levels of ATP in treated tissues decreased [3,22] with a concomitant stimulation in RNA synthesis [3] ; ATP levels remained constant during a period of stimulation of RNA synthesis and inhibition of DNA synthesis [7].…”

Abstract. Colchicine effects on growth, oxygen uptake, and adenosine phosphates level of carrot (Daucus carota L.) callus tissue were determined over a period of 18 days after subculture. Colchicine at 10 -3 and 10-4 Minhibited the increase in oxygen consumption which was observed with the initiation of callus tissue. Initially the same levels of colchicine stimulated AMP and ADP levels above those of the control, but later the levels returned to those of the control. Colchicine at 10 -4 and 10 -6 M reduced ATP levels; however, at 10 -3 M there was no effect. Growth was not severely affected by the same concentrations during the same treatment period. Oxygen consumption and nucleotide metabolism were more sensitive to colchicine than was growth. Energy charge was calculated to be 0.7-0.8 in both treated and control tissue during 3-15 days in culture.

“…An inhibition of tumour growth brought about by colchicine is known both from animal material (e. g. AMOROSO, 1935; SEED, SLAUGHTER, and LIMARZI, 1940) and plant material (e. g. HAVAS, 1939 b;DERMEN and BROWN, 1940). Carcinogenic substances have also been found to inhibit the growth of animal tumours or of whole animals (e. g. HAVAS and GAL, 1938;WHITE and WHITE, 1939;HADDOW and ROBINSON, 1939;MORELLI, 1941), or growth within tissue cultures (EARLE and VOEGTLIN, 1938) and in plant tissue (PATTON and NEBEL, 1940).…”

“…They make a strong alcoholic solution of the substance and then add a small quantity of this solution to a large quantity of water. PATTON and NEBEL (1940) used this procedure in preparing colloidal solutions of different hydrocarbons (including ucenaphthene) in a study of their physiological and cytological effects. Their work, however, was not directed to the study of the c-mitosis.…”
