| Name | Colcemid |
| Description | Colcemid (NSC-3096) is a microtubule polymerization inhibitor that primarily targets tubulin, with an IC50 of 2.4 μM. Demecolcine interacts with tubulin dimers, induces antimitotic effects, and inhibits microtubule growth. Colcemid is a classic reagent used in karyotyping, banding techniques, and cell cycle synchronization. Colcemid can induce apoptosis and is used in studies of tumor and embryonic cloning. |
| In vitro | Methods: In a co-culture system of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (CM) and myofibroblasts (MF), mitochondria were labeled with Ad-Mito-EGFP. After 4-hour treatment with Colcemid (4 μM), live cells were tracked in real-time using confocal microscopy to monitor mitochondrial movement within MNTs, and migration velocity was calculated.
Results: Colcemid treatment significantly reduced mitochondrial migration speed within MNTs but did not affect MNT formation. [1] |
