Colchicine

Colchicine is a medicinal substance obtained from meadow saffron (Colchicum autumnale). It is used to reduce the pain of gout, as well as to prevent attacks of polyserositis. Colchicine is administered orally in the form of tablets or capsules. Possible side effects when taking colchicine include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and stomach pain.

Colchicine is also widely used in biology to study the process of mitosis. It is capable of stopping cell division at a certain stage of mitosis, which makes it possible to study this process in detail under a microscope.
