'''Demecolcine''' is a drug used in ].It is closely related to the natural ] ] with the replacement of the ] group on the ] moiety with ]. '''Demecolcine''' (]; also known as '''colcemid''') is a drug used in ]. It is closely related to the natural ] ] with the replacement of the ] group on the ] moiety with ], but it is less toxic. It ] ] and limits microtubule formation (inactivates ] formation), thus arresting ]s in ] and allowing cell harvest and ] to be performed.

==Mechanism of action==
Demecolcine is a microtubule-depolymerizing drug like ]. It acts by two distinct mechanisms. At very low concentration it binds to microtubule plus end to suppress microtubule dynamics.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Jordan MA, Wilson L | s2cid = 10228718 | title = Microtubules as a target for anticancer drugs | journal = Nature Reviews. Cancer | volume = 4 | issue = 4 | pages = 253–65 | date = April 2004 | pmid = 15057285 | doi = 10.1038/nrc1317 }}</ref> Recent study has found at higher concentration demecolcine can promote microtubule detachment from microtubule organizing center. Detached microtubules with unprotected minus end depolymerize with time. Cytotoxicity of the cells seems to correlate better with ] detachment.<ref name=pmid20696757>{{cite journal | vauthors = Yang H, Ganguly A, Cabral F | title = Inhibition of cell migration and cell division correlates with distinct effects of microtubule inhibiting drugs | journal = The Journal of Biological Chemistry | volume = 285 | issue = 42 | pages = 32242–50 | date = October 2010 | pmid = 20696757 | pmc = 2952225 | doi = 10.1074/jbc.M110.160820 | doi-access = free }}</ref> Lower concentration affects microtubule dynamics and cell migration.<ref name=pmid20696757/>

== Research use==
Demecolcine is used for scientific research in cells. It is used in a variety of ways, however, until recently, was used mostly for the study of ] in cells. For example, microtubules are necessary for the splitting of cells. More importantly, the movement of chromosomes during the M phase. Demecolcine inhibition of microtubules causes ] in mitotic cells where the microtubules fall apart or are suppressed before they can complete their function of pulling chromosomes into the daughter cell, also known as nondisjunction of chromosomes.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Hashimoto K, Todo T | title = Mitotic slippage underlies the relationship between p53 dysfunction and the induction of large micronuclei by colcemid | journal = Mutagenesis | volume = 28 | issue = 4 | pages = 457–64 | date = July 2013 | pmid = 23702691 | doi = 10.1093/mutage/get021 | doi-access = free }}</ref> Demecolcine, depending on dose, has also been found to cause ] of chromosomes in ] when nondisjunction occurs.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Yamamoto M, Wakata A, Aoki Y, Miyamae Y, Kodama S | title = Chromosome loss caused by DNA fragmentation induced in main nuclei and micronuclei of human lymphoblastoid cells treated with colcemid | journal = Mutation Research | volume = 762 | pages = 10–6 | date = April 2014 | pmid = 24582839 | doi = 10.1016/j.mrfmmm.2014.02.002 | bibcode = 2014MRFMM.762...10Y }}</ref>
