Drug

D1372 | colchicine

Molecular Formula C22H25NO6
Molecular Weight 399.4
Structure
State solid
Clearance * 0.17 L/hr/kg [familial Mediterranean fever patients with end-stage renal disease] * 0.73 L/hr/kg [familial Mediterranean fever patients with normal renal function]
Volume of distribution * 5 to 8 L/kg [healthy young volunteers]
Route of elimination In healthy volunteers (n=12) 40 – 65% of 1 mg orally administered colchicine was recovered unchanged in urine. Enterohepatic recirculation and biliary excretion are also postulated to play a role in colchicine elimination.
Protein binding Low to moderate (30 to 50%).
Half life Elimination half-life is approximately 1 hour in healthy subjects, although a study with an extended sampling time reported mean terminal elimination half-life values of approximately 9 to 10.5 hours. Other studies have reported half-life values of approximately 2 hours in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis and approximately 2.5 hours in patients with familial Mediterranean fever.
Absorption Colchicine is rapidly absorbed after oral administration, probably from the jejunum and ileum. However, the rate and extent of absorption are variable, depending on the tablet dissolution rate; variability in gastric emptying, intestinal motility, and pH at the absorption site; and the extent to which colchicine is bound to microtubules in gastrointestinal mucosal cells.
