To search for colchicine derivatives which have high efficacy and low toxicity. Colchicine was firstly converted into thiocolchicine, and then it was hydrolyzed to get 7-(N-deacetylthiocolchicine). At last, 7-(N-deacetylthiocolchicine) was amidated to get the target compounds. The chemical structure of

Colchicine has been used in diverse clinical settings such as gout, familial Mediterranean fever, liver cirrhosis, Behcet's disease and pericarditis. It also has an antimitotic potential hitherto unexplored due to its narrow therapeutic toxic ratio. The aim of the present

(+)-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

During a cellular screening of thiocolchicine analogs, thiocolchicine dimers resulted particularly active in cisplatin-resistant A2780-CIS cells. In order to discover by which mechanism(s) thiocolchicine dimers overcame cisplatin resistance, p53, p21waf1 and MLH1 were assessed by Western blot. Results pointed out

The comparative pharmacokinetic and bioavailability profile of two different formulations (tablets and capsules) of thiocolchicoside was investigated in 8 healthy male volunteers after administration of single oral 8 mg doses. Plasma samples were assayed by a capillary gas chromatography--mass spectrometry
