Colchicoside

In vitro

Mechanism of Action

Glucoside prodrug of colchicine present in seeds; partially hydrolysed in the gut to release colchicine, contributing to overall alkaloid load and delaying onset of toxicity after ingestion

Research Notes

Identified as a contributor to total colchicine alkaloid load from seed preparations. Limited independent clinical study; primarily relevant to understanding toxicokinetics of whole-plant exposure.
