Abstract
Several possible factors are hypothesized to trigger familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) attacks; however, there is no consensus on this matter. We aimed to identify these triggering factors and analyze their relationship with the Mediterranean fever gene mutation status. We prepared a questionnaire that included the most commonly mentioned possible trigger factors of familial Mediterranean fever. We administered a questionnaire to 882 patients. We used a questionnaire assessing the following: psychological stress, consumption of tea and coffee, relationship with menses, menopause and post-menopausal alleviation, seasonal changes, traveling for long durations, relocation, starvation, sleeplessness, cold exposure, fatigue, wind exposure, and humidity. The most frequent triggering factor for familial Mediterranean fever attacks was psychological stress (75.2%). Cold exposure was a statistically significant trigger in patients with exon 10 mutations. Humidity was a statistically significant trigger in patients with exon 2 mutations. Seasonal changes, traveling for long durations, relocation, and cold exposure were statistically significant triggers of familial Mediterranean fever attacks in patients with homozygous M694V mutations. Identifying trigger factors can lead to better preventive measures and personalized therapies to decrease familial Mediterranean fever attacks. Patients can significantly decrease the number of familial Mediterranean fever attacks they experience by managing psychological stress and avoiding physical factors such as cold exposure and fatigue. Determining the relationship between trigger factors and patients' Mediterranean fever gene mutation status can lead to personalized therapy for the prevention of familial Mediterranean fever attacks.

Colchicine-intolerant familial mediterranean fever patients: A comparative study between different colchicine doses and IL-1 inhibitor monotherapy. Int Immunopharmacol 2024; 128:111491. [PMID: 38241844 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2024.111491] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2023] [Revised: 01/01/2024] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 01/21/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most common monogenic autoinflammatory disease. Colchicine is the primary treatment for FMF, although some patients do not respond well or are unable to tolerate it. For these patients, the addition of interleukin-1 (IL-1) antagonists is the preferred option. However, the impact of colchicine treatment alongside the use of IL-1 antagonists remains unclear. METHODS We recruited adult FMF patients who satisfied the Eurofever and Pediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organization classification criteria and were receiving IL-1 antagonist treatment from our FMF cohort. All the patients exhibited colchicine intolerance or resistance. As per the FMF cohort protocol, the patients were longitudinally followed up, including assessments of their C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, autoinflammatory disease activity index (AIDAI), and autoinflammatory damage index (ADDI). RESULTS Among the 125 patients (68 female and 57 male), 96 received a combination of IL-1 antagonists and the maximum tolerated dose of colchicine, whereas 29 were treated exclusively with IL-1 antagonists due to colchicine intolerance. The patients' inflammatory markers, AIDAI activity, and ADDI damage scores did not differ significantly between the two groups during the follow-up period. Notably, the drug retention rates were significantly higher in the patients treated solely with IL-1 antagonists. CONCLUSION While the typical approach is to maintain colchicine treatment alongside the use of IL-1 antagonists, for patients who cannot tolerate effective colchicine doses, IL-1 antagonists alone may effectively control FMF disease activity.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the pregnancy process, especially the Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) disease course and attack types during pregnancy, and to examine the relationship between disease-related factors and female infertility in FMF patients. The study, which was planned in a multicenter national network, included 643 female patients. 435 female patients who had regular sexual intercourse were questioned in terms of infertility. Pregnancy and delivery history, FMF disease severity and course during pregnancy were evaluated. The relationship between demographic and clinical findings, disease severity, genetic analysis results and infertility was investigated. 401 patients had at least 1 pregnancy and 34 patients were diagnosed with infertility. 154 patients had an attack during pregnancy. 61.6% of them reported that attacks during pregnancy were similar to those when they were not pregnant. The most common attack symptoms were fever, fatigue and abdominal pain-peritonitis (96%, 87%, and 83%, respectively) in the pregnancy period. The disease-onset age, disease activity score, gene mutation analyses, and regular colchicine use (> 90%) were similar between the fertile and infertile groups, while the frequency of previous appendectomy and alcohol consumption rates were higher in individuals with infertility. Our results indicated no significant change in the frequency and severity of attacks during pregnancy. The low rate of infertility (7.8%) in our patients was noted. It has been suggested that the risk of FMF-related infertility may not be as high as thought in patients who are followed up regularly and received colchicine.

The Microtubule-Targeting Agent Pretubulysin Impairs the Inflammatory Response in Endothelial Cells by a JNK-Dependent Deregulation of the Histone Acetyltransferase Brd4. Cells 2023; 12:2112. [PMID: 37626922 PMCID: PMC10453553 DOI: 10.3390/cells12162112] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2023] [Revised: 08/12/2023] [Accepted: 08/15/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
The anti-inflammatory effects of depolymerizing microtubule-targeting agents on leukocytes are known for a long time, but the potential involvement of the vascular endothelium and the underlying mechanistic basis is still largely unclear. Using the recently synthesized depolymerizing microtubule-targeting agent pretubulysin, we investigated the anti-inflammatory potential of pretubulysin and other microtubule-targeting agents with respect to the TNF-induced leukocyte adhesion cascade in endothelial cells, to improve our understanding of the underlying biomolecular background. We found that treatment with pretubulysin reduces inflammation in vivo and in vitro via inhibition of the TNF-induced adhesion of leukocytes to the vascular endothelium by down-regulation of the pro-inflammatory cell adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in a JNK-dependent manner. The underlying mechanism includes JNK-induced deregulation and degradation of the histone acetyltransferase Bromodomain-containing protein 4. This study shows that depolymerizing microtubule-targeting agents, in addition to their established effects on leukocytes, also significantly decrease the inflammatory activation of vascular endothelial cells. These effects are not based on altered pro-inflammatory signaling cascades, but require deregulation of the capability of cells to enter constructive transcription for some genes, setting a baseline for further research on the prominent anti-inflammatory effects of depolymerizing microtubule-targeting agents.

Abstract
microRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA sequences that negatively regulate the expression of protein-encoding genes at the post-transcriptional level. They play a role in the regulation of inflammatory responses by controlling the proliferation and activation of immune cells and their expression is disrupted in several immune-mediated inflammatory disorders. Among these, autoinflammatory diseases (AID) are a group of rare hereditary disorders caused by abnormal activation of the innate immune system and characterized by recurrent fevers. Major groups of AID are inflammasomopathies, which are associated with hereditary defects in the activation of inflammasomes, cytosolic multiprotein signaling complexes regulating IL-1 family cytokine maturation and pyroptosis. The study of the role of miRNAs in AID is only recently emerging and remains scarce in inflammasomopathies. In this review, we describe the AID and inflammasomopathies, and the current knowledge on the role of miRNAs in disease processes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Behcet disease (BD) is a multisystemic disorder characterized by variable clinical manifestations that affect nearly all systems and organs. Colchicine, an alkaloid plant extract, is considered as the first-line therapy for gout, pericarditis, and familial Mediterranean fever. However, the role of colchicine in the treatment of different clinical phenotypes of BD has not been clearly described. This narrative review summarizes the clinical use of colchicine in BD. METHODS All relevant literature from 1980 to March 2021 was searched in PubMed, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library. The Medical Subject Heading terms and related words that were searched are as follows: Behcet's disease, Behcet's syndrome, BD, colchicine, management, treatment, and therapy. FINDINGS BD is an autoimmune systemic vasculitis with various clinical phenotypes, with involvement of skin mucosa, joints, eyes, and gastrointestinal, vascular, and neurologic systems. Colchicine has been used for centuries, acts by binding to tubulin to prevent the mitotic process, and has anti-inflammatory, antitumor, and antifibrotic properties. Colchicine has been reported to be an effective option for the treatment of skin, mucosal, and joint involvement in patients with certain BD clinical phenotypes. IMPLICATIONS Colchicine reduces the severity of certain clinical phenotypes and may improve the overall disease activity index in patients with BD. More randomized clinical trials are needed to confirm the value of colchicine in the treatment of BD, and further elucidation of the mechanisms is also needed, which may reveal new application of colchicine that has been used for centuries.

Abstract
There is increasing evidence that links mitochondrial off-target effects with organ toxicities. For this reason, predictive strategies need to be developed to identify mitochondrial dysfunction early in the drug discovery process. In this study, as a major mechanism of mitochondrial toxicity, first, the inhibitory activity of 35 compounds against succinate-cytochrome c reductase (SCR) was investigated. This in vitro study led to the generation of consistent experimental data for a diverse range of compounds, including pharmaceutical drugs and fungicides. Next, molecular docking and protein-ligand interaction fingerprinting (PLIF) analysis were used to identify significant residues and protein-ligand interactions for the Qo site of complex III and Q site of complex II. Finally, this data was used for the development of QSAR models using a regression-based approach to highlight structural and chemical features that might be responsible for SCR inhibition. The statistically validated QSAR models from this work highlighted the importance of low aqueous solubility, low ionisation, fewer 6-membered rings and shorter hydrocarbon alkane chains in the molecular structure for increased inhibition of SCR, hence mitochondrial toxicity. PLIF analysis highlighted two key residues for inhibitory activity of the Qo site of complex III: His 161 as H-bond acceptor and Pro 270 for arene interactions. Currently, there are limited structure-activity models published in the scientific literature for the prediction of mitochondrial toxicity. We believe this study helps shed light on the chemical space for the inhibition of mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC).

Abstract
Tropone is the prototypical aromatic 7-membered ring, and can be found in virtually any undergraduate textbook as a key example of non-benzenoid aromaticity. Aside from this important historical role, tropone is also of high interest as a uniquely reactive synthon in complex chemical synthesis as well as a valuable chemotype in drug design. More recently, there has been growing interest in the utility of tropones for catalysis and material science. Thus, synthetic strategies capable of synthesizing functional tropones are key to fully exploiting the potential of this aromatic ring system. Cycloaddition reactions are particularly powerful methods for constructing carbocycles, and these strategies in turn have proven to be powerful for generating troponoids. The following review article provides an overview of strategies for troponoids wherein the 7-membered carbocycle is generated through a cycloaddition reaction. Representative examples of each strategy are also provided.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Familial Mediterranean fever [FMF] is the most common autoinflammatory disease characterized by inflammatory attacks of fever and polyserositis. Patients' quality of life is significantly affected due to recurrent excruciating pain attacks and complications. This study is performed to evaluate the parameters most affecting patients' satisfaction from treatment. METHODS : Three hundred and forty-six consecutive patients diagnosed with FMF were enrolled in this study. Current treatment, acute phase proteins, number, type, and severity of predominant attacks, absenteeism from work/school in the last three months were recorded, and the participants were asked whether they needed additional treatment to evaluate Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS) status. RESULTS Mean age of the overall group was 38.2 ± 11.7 years (62.4% female, 37.6% male). Two hundred and twenty-seven patients were treated with colchicine, 97 patients with colchicine plus Interleukin-1 (IL-1) antagonist, and 22 only with IL-1 antagonist (67.1%, 26.3%, 6.64% in order). Of the overall group, 33.8% (n = 117) believed to need additional treatment options. Additional treatment need of patients was significantly affected by work impairment due to attacks, absent days from work, disease activity, the discomfort of patients during attacks, the number of attacks, and treatment options; but not by the level of acute-phase proteins between attacks. DISCUSSION PASS score is significantly related to clinical parameters and quality of life. Patients' PASS scores and treatment choices are notably affected by the severity and frequency of attacks and absenteeism from work/school. Clinical activity and quality of life should be evaluated at every visit to provide patients' satisfaction with treatment.

Abstract
Benzocycloheptenes constitute a common structural motif embedded in many natural products and biologically active compounds. Herein, we report their concise preparation from non‐activated polycyclic arenes using a two‐step sequence involving dearomative [4+2]‐cycloaddition with arenophile in combination with palladium‐catalyzed cyclopropanation, followed by cycloreversion‐initiated ring expansion. The described strategy provides a working alternative to the Buchner reaction, which is limited to monocyclic arenes. Overall, this methylene‐insertion molecular editing approach enables rapid and direct conversion of simple (hetero)arenes into a range of substituted (aza)benzocycloheptatrienes, which can undergo a myriad of downstream functionalizations.

Abstract
In the literature, there is a scarcity of greener analytical approaches for colchicine (CLH) analysis. As a result, efforts were made in this study to develop and validate a greener reversed-phase high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) technique for CLH analysis in traditional extracts (TE) and ultrasonication-based extracts (UBE) of commercial Unani formulations, commercial allopathic formulations, and Colchicum autumnale Pleniflorum (L.) obtained from Egypt and India. This new technique was compared to the regular normal-phase HPTLC method. The greenness profile of both methods was estimated using the Analytical GREENness (AGREE) approach. In the 100–600 and 25–1200 ng/band ranges, regular and greener HPTLC procedures were linear for CLH analysis, respectively. For CLH analysis, the greener HPTLC method was more sensitive, accurate, precise, and robust than the regular HPTLC method. For CLH analysis in TE and UBE of commercial Unani formulations, commercial allopathic formulations, and C. autumnale obtained from Egypt and India, the greener HPTLC method was superior in terms of CLH content compared to the regular HPTLC method. In addition, the UBE procedure was superior to the TE procedure for both methods. The AGREE scores for regular and greener reversed-phase HPTLC methods were found to be 0.46 and 0.75, respectively. The AGREE results showed excellent greener profile of the greener HPTLC method over the regular HPTLC technique. Based on several validation criteria and pharmaceutical assay findings, the greener HPTLC method is regarded as superior to the regular HPTLC approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), a hereditary auto-inflammatory disease, mainly affects ethnic groups living in the Mediterranean region. Early studies reported colchicine may potentially prevent FMF attacks. For people who are colchicine-resistant or intolerant, drugs such as anakinra, rilonacept, canakinumab, etanercept, infliximab or adalimumab might be beneficial. This is an update of the review last published in 2018. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy and safety of interventions for reducing inflammation in people with FMF. SEARCH METHODS We searched CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase and four Chinese databases on in August 2021. We searched clinical trials registries and references listed in relevant reports. The last search was 17 August 2021. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of people with FMF, comparing active interventions (including colchicine, anakinra, rilonacept, canakinumab, etanercept, infliximab, adalimumab, thalidomide, tocilizumab, interferon-α and ImmunoGuard (herbal dietary supplement)) with placebo or no treatment, or comparing active drugs to each other. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS We used standard Cochrane methodology. We assessed certainty of the evidence using GRADE. MAIN RESULTS We included 10 RCTs with 312 participants (aged three to 53 years), including five parallel and five cross-over designed studies. Six studies used oral colchicine, one used oral ImmunoGuard, and the remaining three used rilonacept, anakinra or canakinumab as a subcutaneous injection. The duration of each study arm ranged from one to eight months. There were inadequacies in the design of the four older colchicine studies and the two studies comparing a single to a divided dose of colchicine. However, the four studies of ImmunoGuard, rilonacept, anakinra and canakinumab were generally well-designed. We aimed to report on the number of participants experiencing an attack, the timing of attacks, the prevention of amyloid A amyloidosis, adverse drug reactions and the response of a number of biochemical markers from the acute phase of an attack; but no study reported on the prevention of amyloid A amyloidosis. Colchicine (oral) versus placebo After three months, colchicine 0.6 mg three times daily may reduce the number of people experiencing attacks (risk ratio (RR) 0.21, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.05 to 0.95; 1 study, 10 participants; low-certainty evidence). One study (20 participants) of colchicine 0.5 mg twice daily showed there may be no difference in the number of participants experiencing attacks at two months (RR 0.78, 95% CI 0.49 to 1.23; low-certainty evidence). There may be no differences in the duration of attacks (narrative summary; very low-certainty evidence), or in the number of days between attacks: (narrative summary; very low-certainty evidence). Regarding adverse drug reactions, one study reported loose stools and frequent bowel movements and a second reported diarrhea (narrative summary; both very low-certainty evidence). There were no data on acute-phase response. Rilonacept versus placebo There is probably no difference in the number of people experiencing attacks at three months (RR 0.87, 95% CI 0.59 to 1.26; moderate-certainty evidence). There may be no differences in the duration of attacks (narrative summary; low-certainty evidence) or in the number of days between attacks (narrative summary; low-certainty evidence). Regarding adverse drug reactions, the rilonacept study reported there may be no differences in gastrointestinal symptoms, hypertension, headache, respiratory tract infections, injection site reactions and herpes, compared to placebo (narrative summary; low-certainty evidence). The study narratively reported there may be no differences in acute-phase response indicators after three months (low-certainty evidence). ImmunoGuard versus placebo The ImmunoGuard study observed there are probably no differences in adverse effects (moderate-certainty evidence) or in acute-phase response indicators after one month of treatment (moderate-certainty evidence). No data were reported for the number of people experiencing an attack, duration of attacks or days between attacks. Anakinra versus placebo A study of anakinra given to 25 colchicine-resistant participants found there is probably no difference in the number of participants experiencing an attack at four months (RR 0.76, 95% CI 0.54 to 1.07; moderate-certainty evidence). There were no data for duration of attacks or days between attacks. There are probably no differences between anakinra and placebo with regards to injection site reaction, headache, presyncope, dyspnea and itching (narrative summary; moderate-certainty evidence). For acute-phase response, anakinra probably reduced C-reactive protein (CRP) after four months (narrative summary; moderate-certainty evidence). Canakinumab versus placebo Canakinumab probably reduces the number of participants experiencing an attack at 16 weeks (RR 0.41, 95% CI 0.26 to 0.65; 1 study, 63 colchicine-resistant participants; moderate-certainty evidence). There were no data for the duration of attacks or days between attacks. The included study reported the number of serious adverse events per 100 patient-years was probably 42.7 with canakinumab versus 97.4 with placebo among people with colchicine-resistant FMF (moderate-certainty evidence). For acute-phase response, canakinumab probably caused a higher proportion of participants to have a CRP level of 10 mg/L or less compared to placebo (68% with canakinumab versus 6% with placebo; 1 study, 63 participants; moderate-certainty evidence). Colchicine single dose versus divided dose There is probably no difference in the duration of attacks at three months (MD -0.04 hours, 95% CI -10.91 to 10.83) or six months (MD 2.80 hours, 95% CI -5.39 to 10.99; moderate-certainty evidence). There were no data for the number of participants experiencing an attack or days between attacks. There is probably no difference in adverse events (including anorexia, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting and elevated liver enzymes) between groups (narrative summary; moderate-certainty evidence). For acute-phase response, there may be no evidence of a difference between groups (narrative summary; low- to moderate-certainty evidence). AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS There were limited RCTs assessing interventions for people with FMF. Based on the evidence, three times daily colchicine may reduce the number of people experiencing attacks, colchicine single dose and divided dose may not be different for children with FMF, canakinumab probably reduces the number of people experiencing attacks, and anakinra or canakinumab probably reduce CRP in colchicine-resistant participants; however, only a few RCTs contributed data for analysis. Further RCTs examining active interventions, not only colchicine, are necessary before a comprehensive conclusion regarding the efficacy and safety of interventions for reducing inflammation in FMF can be drawn.

Abstract
Colchicine, the main active alkaloid from Colchicum autumnale L., is a potent tubulin binder and represents an interesting lead structure for the development of potential anticancer chemotherapeutics. We report on the synthesis and investigation of potentially reactive colchicinoids and their surprising biological activities. In particular, the previously undescribed colchicinoid PT-100, a B-ring contracted 6-exo-methylene colchicinoid, exhibits extraordinarily high antiproliferative and apoptosis-inducing effects on various types of cancer cell lines like acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Nalm6), acute myeloid leukemia (HL-60), Burkitt-like lymphoma (BJAB), human melanoma (MelHO), and human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF7) cells at low nanomolar concentrations. Apoptosis induction proved to be especially high in multidrug-resistant Nalm6-derived cancer cell lines, while healthy human leukocytes and hepatocytes were not affected by the concentration range studied. Furthermore, caspase-independent initiation of apoptosis via an intrinsic pathway was observed. PT-100 also shows strong synergistic effects in combination with vincristine on BJAB and Nalm6 cells. Cocrystallization of PT-100 with tubulin dimers revealed its (noncovalent) binding to the colchicine-binding site of β-tubulin at the interface to the α-subunit. A pronounced effect of PT-100 on the cytoskeleton morphology was shown by fluorescence microscopy. While the reactivity of PT-100 as a weak Michael acceptor toward thiols was chemically proven, it remains unclear whether this contributes to the remarkable biological properties of this unusual colchicinoid.

Abstract
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most common monogenic autoinflammatory disease and is usually diagnosed in childhood, especially in the first decade of life. Paediatric FMF is characterized by a protean clinical expression and a variable therapeutic response, which can make its medical management very challenging. However, even if long-term complications of untreated FMF (e.g. amyloidosis and related organ damage) are less frequent in children compared to adults, they are not uncommon. Colchicine is the mainstay of the therapy in paediatric FMF; however, if children develop colchicine intolerance and/or resistance, biologics, particularly interleukin-1 antagonists, must be considered. Other conventional or biological therapeutic options do not currently have appropriate evidence-based support, except for some specific clinical presentations (e.g., arthritis). In this review, we discuss the biological basis and the clinical evidence for the current pharmacological treatment options available for paediatric FMF.

Abstract
As an autosomal recessive autoinflammatory disease, treatment of Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) has still gaps. Clinical studies are proving the safety and efficacy of colchicine in patients with FMF. However, there are very limited data on colchicine-resistant patients treated with canakinumab. This study presents the real-life experience of two rheumatology clinics choosing canakinumab in adult patients with FMF resistant to standard therapy. Treatment-resistant FMF patients with validated diagnoses enrolled from two rheumatology clinics. A special database was generated for the study and patients' demographic characteristics, FMF attack characteristics, adverse events seen during treatment, family history, MediterraneanFeVer (MEFV) mutations, and laboratory results recorded. Patients with missing dates were excluded from the analysis. PRAS score is used to assess the disease activity. A total of thirty colchicine and/or anakinra-resistant patients were enrolled to study. Twenty-one patients were female (70%) and the average disease duration was 21 years. The time from colchicine to anakinra was 4.27 years and the time to canakinumab was 1.52 years. Abdominal pain (100%), fever (93.3%), chest pain (56.7%) were the most prevailed findings. Morning stiffness, myalgia, low back pain, chest pain was the predominant musculoskeletal findings. Median colchicine dose was 2 mg/day (min-max 0.5-3 mg/day). The most common side effect during anakinra treatment, apart from treatment unresponsiveness, was injection site reactions. Before canakinumab treatment, the mean number of attacks was 8.3 in the 24 weeks, 4.33 in the third month of canakinumab treatment, and 1.56 at the last visit (p < 0.001). Also, the mean duration of attacks was 67.20 h before canakinumab treatment, this period decreased to 18.27 h after six months of canakinumab treatment (p < 0.001). Canakinumab is effective and tolerable to reduce attacks in resistant patients with FMF. Laboratory findings and clinical observation reveals that canakinumab can be another treatment option for colchicine and/or anakinra non-responders. Further studies with larger patients are required to validate recent findings with canakinumab.

Abstract
The emerging role of colchicine in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases is a strong demand for a comprehensive understanding of its efficacy and safety. This meta-analysis and systematic review aimed to study the efficacy in the reduction of adverse cardiovascular outcomes (CO), and the risk of colchicine-related adverse events (CRAEs). Fourteen thousand and nine eighty three patients from 22 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included, 9 in patients with coronary artery disease-CAD, 9 in patients with pericarditis, 4 in patients with atrial fibrillation-AF or heart failure. Colchicine was efficacious in the reduction of adverse CO across different settings: pericardial diseases (reduced risk of recurrent pericarditis, 17.6% vs. 35%, RR 0.50, 95% CI 0.41-0.61), CAD (reduced risk of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, stroke,coronary revascularization or hospitalization, 6.1% vs. 8.5%, RR 0.73, 95% CI 0.64-0.83), AF (reduced risk of arrhythmia recurrence, 14.2% vs. 22.7%, RR 0.62, 95% CI 0.44-0.88). Colchicine was associated with increased risk of gastrointestinal CRAEs (11.2% vs. 8.8%, RR 1.87, 95% CI 1.41-2.47) and drug discontinuation (5.4% vs. 3.7%, RR 1.58, 95% CI 1.25-1.99). In both cases, the risk was proportional to the daily dose or duration of treatment, possibly due to early drug discontinuation or tolerance. Other CRAEs (muscle-related, liver,hematologic,cutaneous, infections) were not increased by colchicine, as long as all-cause death (2.2% vs. 1.9%, RR 1.11, 95% CI 0.79-1.54) or non-cardiovascular death (1.5% vs. 1%, RR 1.43, 95% CI 0.93-2.19). Colchicine is efficacious and safe for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. The risk of gastrointestinal CRAEs and drug discontinuation is not significant if colchicine is used at lower doses (0.5 mg daily) or for longer periods of time (> 6 months).

Design and rationale of the colchicine/statin for the prevention of COVID-19 complications (COLSTAT) trial. Contemp Clin Trials 2021; 110:106547. [PMID: 34461322 PMCID: PMC8397504 DOI: 10.1016/j.cct.2021.106547] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2021] [Revised: 08/16/2021] [Accepted: 08/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Background Despite improvement in the standard of care (SOC) for hospitalized COVID-19 patients, rates of morbidity and mortality remain high. There continues to be a need for easily available and cost-effective treatments. Colchicine and rosuvastatin are both safe and well-studied medications with anti-inflammatory and other pleiotropic effects that may provide additional benefits to hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Methods and results The Colchicine/Statin for the Prevention of COVID-19 Complications (COLSTAT) trial is a pragmatic, open-label, multicenter, randomized trial comparing the combination of colchicine and rosuvastatin in addition to SOC to SOC alone in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Four centers in the Yale New Haven Health network will enroll a total of 466 patients with 1:1 randomization. The trial will utilize the electronic health record (Epic® Systems, Verona, Wisconsin, USA) at all stages including screening, randomization, intervention, event ascertainment, and follow-up. The primary endpoint is the 30-day composite of progression to severe COVID-19 disease as defined by the World Health Organization ordinal scale of clinical improvement and arterial/venous thromboembolic events. The secondary powered endpoint is the 30-day composite of death, respiratory failure requiring intubation, and myocardial injury. Conclusions The COLSTAT trial will provide evidence on the efficacy of repurposing colchicine and rosuvastatin for the treatment of hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Moreover, it is designed to be a pragmatic trial that will demonstrate the power of using electronic health records to improve efficiency and enrollment in clinical trials in an adapting landscape. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT04472611 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04472611).

Abstract
A new series of 10-demethoxy-10-methylaminocolchicines bearing urea, thiourea or aguanidine moieties at position C7 has been designed, synthesized and evaluated for in vitro anticancer activity against different cancer cell lines (A549, MCF-7, LoVo, LoVo/DX). The majority of the new derivatives were active in the nanomolar range and were characterized by lower IC50 values than cisplatin or doxorubicin. Two ureas (4 and 8) and thioureas (19 and 25) were found to be good antiproliferative agents (low IC50 values and high SI) and could prove to be promising candidates for further research in the field of anticancer drugs based on the colchicine skeleton.

Abstract
Colchicin, das Gift der Herbstzeitlosen, hat verschiedene antiinflammatorische Effekte. Aus diesem Grund kommt es zur Behandlung von rheumatologischen Erkrankungen aus dem autoinflammatorischen Formenkreis, wie z. B. der Arthritis urica oder dem familiären Mittelmeerfieber (FMF), zum Einsatz. Darüber hinaus gibt es erste Daten, die einen positiven Nutzen von Colchicin bei kardiovaskulären Erkrankungen nahelegen. Des Weiteren werden aktuell verschiedene antiinflammatorische Therapieansätze in der COVID-19-Behandlung in Studien erprobt. Hier gibt es ebenfalls erste Publikationen, die einen potenziellen Nutzen von Colchicin in bestimmten Krankheitsphasen der Virusinfektion nahe legen. Dieser Beitrag will einen Überblick über die Wirkweise, den Nutzen und Nebenwirkungen sowie die verschiedenen Einsatzmöglichkeiten von Colchicin in der Rheumatologie geben. Weiterhin soll ein kurzer Ausblick in neue Einsatzgebiete dieses Medikamentes gegeben werden.

Abstract
Colchicine is widely investigated for cardioprotection of COVID-19 patients since it can prevent the phenomenon of 'cytokine storm' and may reduce the complications arising from COVID-19. Despite the potentially beneficial effects of colchicine, there is no consensus on the appropriate dosage regimen and numerous schemes are currently used.In this study, simulations were performed to identify the ability of dosage regimens to attain plasma levels in CVOID-19 patients, known to be generally safe and efficacious. Since renal and hepatic impairment, as well as, drug-drug interactions have been identified to be the most significant factors increasing colchicine toxicity, the impact of these interactions was assessed in the simulations.Some dosage regimens lead to high colchicine concentrations, while others result in sub-therapeutic levels. Additional dosage schemes were proposed in this study aiming to be applied in patients with clearance insufficiency. Colchicine administration of 0.5 mg twice daily, can be considered safe and effective. In cases of clearance impairment, doses as low as 0.25 mg thrice or twice daily should be applied.Colchicine is a narrow therapeutic index drug and dosage regimens tailored to patients' needs should be designed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence suggests a role for excessive inflammation in COVID-19 complications. Colchicine is an oral anti-inflammatory medication beneficial in gout, pericarditis, and coronary disease. We aimed to investigate the effect of colchicine on the composite of COVID-19-related death or hospital admission. METHODS The present study is a phase 3, randomised, double-blind, adaptive, placebo-controlled, multicentre trial. The study was done in Brazil, Canada, Greece, South Africa, Spain, and the USA, and was led by the Montreal Heart Institute. Patients with COVID-19 diagnosed by PCR testing or clinical criteria who were not being treated in hospital were eligible if they were at least 40 years old and had at least one high-risk characteristic. The randomisation list was computer-generated by an unmasked biostatistician, and masked randomisation was centralised and done electronically through an automated interactive web-response system. The allocation sequence was unstratified and used a 1:1 ratio with a blocking schema and block sizes of six. Patients were randomly assigned to receive orally administered colchicine (0·5 mg twice per day for 3 days and then once per day for 27 days thereafter) or matching placebo. The primary efficacy endpoint was the composite of death or hospital admission for COVID-19. Vital status at the end of the study was available for 97·9% of patients. The analyses were done according to the intention-to-treat principle. The COLCORONA trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04322682) and is now closed to new participants. FINDINGS Trial enrolment began in March 23, 2020, and was completed in Dec 22, 2020. A total of 4488 patients (53·9% women; median age 54·0 years, IQR 47·0-61·0) were enrolled and 2235 patients were randomly assigned to colchicine and 2253 to placebo. The primary endpoint occurred in 104 (4·7%) of 2235 patients in the colchicine group and 131 (5·8%) of 2253 patients in the placebo group (odds ratio [OR] 0·79, 95·1% CI 0·61-1·03; p=0·081). Among the 4159 patients with PCR-confirmed COVID-19, the primary endpoint occurred in 96 (4·6%) of 2075 patients in the colchicine group and 126 (6·0%) of 2084 patients in the placebo group (OR 0·75, 0·57-0·99; p=0·042). Serious adverse events were reported in 108 (4·9%) of 2195 patients in the colchicine group and 139 (6·3%) of 2217 patients in the placebo group (p=0·051); pneumonia occurred in 63 (2·9%) of 2195 patients in the colchicine group and 92 (4·1%) of 2217 patients in the placebo group (p=0·021). Diarrhoea was reported in 300 (13·7%) of 2195 patients in the colchicine group and 161 (7·3%) of 2217 patients in the placebo group (p<0·0001). INTERPRETATION In community-treated patients including those without a mandatory diagnostic test, the effect of colchicine on COVID-19-related clinical events was not statistically significant. Among patients with PCR-confirmed COVID-19, colchicine led to a lower rate of the composite of death or hospital admission than placebo. Given the absence of orally administered therapies to prevent COVID-19 complications in community-treated patients and the benefit of colchicine in patients with PCR-proven COVID-19, this safe and inexpensive anti-inflammatory agent could be considered for use in those at risk of complications. Notwithstanding these considerations, replication in other studies of PCR-positive community-treated patients is recommended.

The ongoing worldwide increase in life expectancy portends a rising prevalence of age-related cardiovascular (CV) diseases in the coming decades that demands a deeper understanding of their molecular mechanisms. Inflammation has recently emerged as an important contributor for CV disease development. Indeed, a state of chronic sterile low-grade inflammation characterizes older organisms (also known as inflamm-ageing) and participates pivotally in the development of frailty, disability, and most chronic degenerative diseases including age-related CV and cerebrovascular afflictions. Due to chronic activation of inflammasomes and to reduced endogenous anti-inflammatory mechanisms, inflamm-ageing contributes to the activation of leucocytes, endothelial, and vascular smooth muscle cells, thus accelerating vascular ageing and atherosclerosis. Furthermore, inflamm-ageing promotes the development of catastrophic athero-thrombotic complications by enhancing platelet reactivity and predisposing to plaque rupture and erosion. Thus, inflamm-ageing and its contributors or molecular mediators might furnish targets for novel therapeutic strategies that could promote healthy ageing and conserve resources for health care systems worldwide. Here, we discuss recent findings in the pathophysiology of inflamm-ageing, the impact of these processes on the development of age-related CV diseases, results from clinical trials targeting its components and the potential implementation of these advances into daily clinical practice.

Abstract
Behçet disease (BD) is a complex, multi-systemic inflammatory condition mainly hallmarked by oral and genital ulcers which can also affect the vessels, gastrointestinal tract, central nervous system and even the axial skeleton. Without a clear classification among autoimmune or autoinflammatory conditions, BD has been recently classified as a MHC-I-opathy. BD aetiology is still obscure, but it is thought that certain microorganisms can elicit an aberrant adaptive immune response in the presence of a permissive genetic background. Altered T-cell homeostasis, mostly Th1/Th17 expansion and Treg impairment, could lead to an overactivation of the innate immunity, which underlies tissue damage and thus, signs and symptoms. Immunosuppression and/or immunomodulation are central to the BD management. A complex armamentarium ranging from classical synthetic disease-modifying antirrheumatic drugs to new-era biologic agents or small molecules is available in BD, with different therapeutic outcomes depending on disease manifestations. However, the precise disease mechanisms that underlie BD symptoms are not fully deciphered, which may limit their therapeutic potential and add a significant layer of complexity to the treatment decision-making process. The aim of the present review is to provide an exhaustive overview of the latest breakthroughs in BD pathogenesis and therapeutic options.

Abstract
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of colchicine for secondary prevention of coronary heart disease (CHD), relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were identified by searching several databases from the creation date to August 31, 2020 and were reviewed. Eight eligible trials of colchicine therapy involving a total of 11, 463 patients were included (5, 776 subjects received colchicine, while 5, 687 subjects were in the respective control arms), and the outcome was reported as risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI), as the relative measure of association. Overall, the incidences of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) (RR 0.70; 95% CI 0.61-0.80), myocardial infarction (MI) (RR 0.77; 95% CI 0.64-0.94), emergency readmission due to CHD (RR 0.70; 95% CI 0.58-0.86), and ischemic stroke (RR 0.49; 95% CI 0.30-0.79) were lower in the colchicine group than in the placebo arm. We did not find a significant reduction in the incidence of all-cause mortality (RR 1.03; 95% CI 0.80-1.32). Although the incidence of diarrhea in the colchicine treatment group was higher than that in the placebo arms (RR 2.53; 95% CI 1.17, 5.48), the symptoms disappeared rapidly after drug withdrawal, and no serious adverse reactions occurred. In summary, colchicine is an accessible, safe, and effective drug that could be successfully utilized for the secondary prevention of CHD. The tolerability and benefits should be confirmed in in-depth clinical trials.

Synthesis, anticancer activity and molecular docking studies of N-deacetylthiocolchicine and 4-iodo-N-deacetylthiocolchicine derivatives. Bioorg Med Chem 2021; 32:116014.

Abstract
Colchicine is a plant alkaloid with a broad spectrum of biological and pharmacological properties. It has found application as an anti-inflammatory agent and also shows anticancer effects through its ability to destabilize microtubules by preventing tubulin dimers from polymerizing leading to mitotic death. However, adverse side effects have so far restricted its use in cancer therapy. This has led to renewed efforts to identify less toxic derivatives. In this article, we describe the synthesis of a set of novel double- and triple-modified colchicine derivatives. These derivatives were tested against primary acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL-5) cells and several established cancer cell lines including A549, MCF-7, LoVo and LoVo/DX. The novel derivatives were active in the low nanomolar range, with 7-deacetyl-10-thiocolchicine analogues more potent towards ALL-5 cells while 4-iodo-7-deacetyl-10-thiocolchicine analogues slightly more effective towards the LoVo cell line. Moreover, most of the synthesized compounds showed a favorable selectivity index (SI), particularly for ALL-5 and LoVo cell lines. Cell cycle analysis of the most potent molecules on ALL-5 and MCF-7 cell lines revealed contrasting effects, where M-phase arrest was observed in MCF-7 cells but not in ALL-5 cells. Molecular docking studies of all derivatives to the colchicine-binding site were performed and it was found that five of the derivatives showed strong β-tubulin binding energies, lower than -8.70 kcal/mol, while the binding energy calculated for colchicine is -8.09 kcal/mol. The present results indicate that 7-deacetyl-10-thiocolchicine and 4-iodo-7-deacetyl-10-thiocolchicine analogues constitute promising lead compounds as chemotherapy agents against several types of cancer.

Abstract
Colchicine shows very high antimitotic activity, therefore, it is used as a lead compound for generation of new anticancer agents. In the hope of developing novel, useful drugs with more favourable pharmacological profiles, a series of doubly modified colchicine derivatives has been designed, synthesized and characterized. These novel carbamate or thiocarbamate derivatives of 10-demethoxy-10-methylaminocolchicine have been tested for their antiproliferative activity against four human cancer cell lines. Additionally, their mode of action has been evaluated as colchicine binding site inhibitors, using molecular docking studies. Most of the tested compounds showed greater cytotoxicity (IC50 in a low nanomolar range) and were characterized by a higher selectivity index than standard chemotherapeutics such as cisplatin and doxorubicin as well as unmodified colchicine. Their pharmacological use in cancer therapy could possibly be accomplished with lower dosages and result in less acute toxicity problems than in the case of colchicine. In addition, we present a QSAR model for predicting the antiproliferative activity of doubly modified derivatives for two tumour cell lines.

Abstract
AIMS Colchicine has an emerging role in the cardiovascular field, although, concerns for side effects, especially gastrointestinal, limit its prescription. We aimed at evaluating reported side effects of colchicine for cardiovascular indications. METHODS We performed a meta-analysis of published randomized controlled trials on colchicine for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Random-effects meta-analysis was used to assess the risk of adverse events and drug withdrawal. Publication bias was assessed using the Egger test, and meta-regression was performed to assess sources of heterogeneity. RESULTS Among 14 188 patients, 7136 patients received colchicine while the other 7052 received placebo. The occurrence of any adverse event with colchicine was reported in 15.3 vs. 13.9% patients [relative risk (RR) 1.26, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.96-1.64, P = 0.09]. Gastrointestinal events were reported in 16.1 vs. 12.2% (RR 2.16, 95% CI 1.50-3.12, P < 0.001), while diarrhea was reported in 12.5 vs. 8.1% (RR 2.77, 95% CI 1.55-4.94, P < 0.001). The risk of gastrointestinal events increased with daily dose and shorter treatment duration. Myalgias were observed in 21 vs. 18% patients (RR 1.16, 95% CI 1.02-1.32, P = 0.03). Other adverse events such as myotoxicity, hepatic adverse events, hematologic adverse events, cutaneous adverse events, infection or death were not increased by colchicine treatment. Colchicine discontinuation was reported in 4.8 vs. 3.4% patients (RR 1.54, 95% CI 1.20-1.99, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Colchicine is associated with increased risk of gastrointestinal events and myalgias, but not of other adverse events. The risk of gastrointestinal events may be avoided with lower dose (0.5 mg/daily) and is inversely related to treatment duration, possibly due to early drug discontinuation or drug tolerance.

Abstract
Interleukin 1 (IL-1), a central mediator of innate immunity, is considered a master cytokine of local and systemic inflammation. IL-1 has emerged as pivotal in the pathogenesis of autoinflammatory diseases (AIDs), and blockade of its pathway has become a crucial target for therapy. Anakinra (ANA), a recombinant IL-1β receptor antagonist, was the first anti-IL-1 agent employed in clinical practice. ANA is currently approved for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis, adult-onset Still’s disease, and cryopyrin-associated autoinflammatory syndrome. It has also been successfully used for off-label treatment of various monogenic, polygenic, or undefined etiology systemic AIDs. This review describes currently available evidence for the off-label use of ANA in pediatric rheumatologic diseases. Specifically, the use of ANA in Kawasaki disease, idiopathic recurrent pericarditis, Behçet disease, monogenic AIDs, undifferentiated AIDs, chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis, macrophage activation syndrome, and febrile infection-related epilepsy, in terms of its safety and efficacy. In selected pediatric rheumatic disorders, the off-label administration of ANA appears to be effective and safe. In order to control severe and/or relapsing disease, ANA should be considered as a valuable treatment option in children suffering from rare inflammatory diseases. However, currently available data consist of retrospective studies and short case series; thus, randomized controlled trials and larger series with long-term follow up are mandatory to better assess the efficacy and cost effectiveness of ANA in these challenging patients.

Abstract
The gastrointestinal tract hosts the natural reservoir of microbiota since birth. The microbiota includes various bacteria that establish a progressively mutual relationship with the host. Of note, the composition of gut microbiota is rather individual-specific and, normally, depends on both the host genotype and environmental factors. The study of the bacterial profile in the gut demonstrates that dominant and minor phyla are present in the gastrointestinal tract with bacterial density gradually increasing in oro-aboral direction. The cross-talk between bacteria and host within the gut strongly contributes to the host metabolism, to structural and protective functions. Dysbiosis can develop following aging, diseases, inflammatory status, and antibiotic therapy. Growing evidences show a possible link between the microbiota and Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF), through a shift of the relative abundance in microbial species. To which extent such perturbations of the microbiota are relevant in driving the phenotypic manifestations of FMF with respect to genetic background, remains to be further investigated.

Abstract
Two series of heterocyclic colchicinoids bearing β-methylenedihydrofuran or 2H-pyran-2-one fragments were synthesized by the intramolecular Heck reaction. Methylenedihydrofuran compounds 9a and 9h were found to be the most cytotoxic among currently known colchicinoids, exhibiting outstanding antiproliferative activity on tumor cell lines in picomolar (0.01-2.1 nM) range of concentrations. Compound 9a potently and substoichiometrically inhibits microtubule formation in vitro, being an order of magnitude more active in this assay than colchicine. Derivatives 9a and 9h revealed relatively low acute toxicity in mice (LD50 ≥ 10 mg/kg i.v.). The X-Ray structure of colchicinoid 9a bound to tubulin confirmed interaction of this compound with the colchicine binding site of tubulin.

Abstract
The outbreak of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has posed the world at a pandemic risk. Coronavirus-19 disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, which causes pneumonia, requires intensive care unit hospitalization in about 10% of cases and can lead to a fatal outcome. Several efforts are currently made to find a treatment for COVID-19 patients. So far, several anti-viral and immunosuppressive or immunomodulating drugs have demonstrated some efficacy on COVID-19 both in vitro and in animal models as well as in cases series. In COVID-19 patients a pro-inflammatory status with high levels of interleukin (IL)-1B, IL-1 receptor (R)A and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α has been demonstrated. Moreover, high levels of IL-6 and TNF-α have been observed in patients requiring intensive-care-unit hospitalization. This provided rationale for the use of anti-rheumatic drugs as potential treatments for this severe viral infection. Other agents, such as hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine might have a direct anti-viral effect. The anti-viral aspect of immunosuppressants towards a variety of viruses has been known since long time and it is herein discussed in the view of searching for a potential treatment for SARS-CoV-2 infection.

[PMID: 32407460 PMCID: PMC8445085 DOI: 10.1093/ehjqcco/qcaa045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2020] [Revised: 05/03/2020] [Accepted: 05/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Aims In the randomized, placebo-controlled Colchicine Cardiovascular Outcomes Trial (COLCOT) of 4745 patients enrolled within 30 days after myocardial infarction (MI), low-dose colchicine (0.5 mg once daily) reduced the incidence of the primary composite endpoint of cardiovascular death, resuscitated cardiac arrest, MI, stroke, or urgent hospitalization for angina leading to coronary revascularization. To assess the in-trial period and lifetime cost-effectiveness of low-dose colchicine therapy compared to placebo in post-MI patients on standard-of-care therapy. Methods and results A multistate Markov model was developed incorporating the primary efficacy and safety results from COLCOT, as well as healthcare costs and utilities from the Canadian healthcare system perspective. All components of the primary outcome, non-cardiovascular deaths, and pneumonia were included as health states in the model as both primary and recurrent events. In the main analysis, a deterministic approach was used to estimate the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) for the trial period (24 months) and lifetime (20 years). Over the in-trial period, the addition of colchicine to post-MI standard-of-care treatment decreased the mean overall per-patient costs by 47%, from $502 to $265 Canadian dollar (CAD), and increased the quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) from 1.30 to 1.34. The lifetime per-patient costs were further reduced (69%) and QALYs increased with colchicine therapy (from 8.82 to 11.68). As a result, both in-trial and lifetime ICERs indicated colchicine therapy was a dominant strategy. Conclusion Cost-effectiveness analyses indicate that the addition of colchicine to standard-of-care therapy after MI is economically dominant and therefore generates cost savings.

Abstract
Colchicine is a well-known compound with strong antiproliferative activity that has had limited use in chemotherapy because of its toxicity. In order to create more potent anticancer agents, a series of novel colchicine derivatives have been obtained by simultaneous modification at C7 (amides and sulfonamides) and at C10 (methylamino group) positions and characterized by spectroscopic methods. All the synthesized compounds have been tested in vitro to evaluate their cytotoxicity toward A549, MCF-7, LoVo, LoVo/DX and BALB/3T3 cell lines. Additionally, the activity of the studied compounds was investigated using computational methods involving molecular docking of the colchicine derivatives to β-tubulin. The majority of the obtained derivatives exhibited higher cytotoxicity than colchicine, doxorubicin or cisplatin against tested cancer cell lines. Furthermore, molecular modeling studies of the obtained compounds revealed their possible binding modes into the colchicine binding site of tubulin.

Abstract
Inflammasomes are a group of multimolecular intracellular complexes assembled around several innate immune proteins. Recognition of a diverse range of microbial, stress and damage signals by inflammasomes results in direct activation of caspase‐1, which subsequently induces the only known form of secretion of active interleukin‐1β and interleukin‐18. Although the importance of interleukin‐1β in the periodontium is not questioned, the impact of inflammasomes in periodontal disease and its potential for therapeutics in periodontology is still in its very early stages. Increasing evidence in preclinical models and human data strongly implicate the involvement of inflammasomes in a number of inflammatory, autoinflammatory and autoimmune disorders. Here we review: (a) the currently known inflammasome functions, (b) clinical/preclinical data supporting inflammasome involvement in the context of periodontal and comorbid diseases and (c) potential therapies targeting inflammasomes. To clarify further the inflammasome involvement in periodontitis, we present analyses of data from a large clinical study (n = 5809) that measured the gingival crevicular fluid‐interleukin‐1β and grouped the participants based on current periodontal disease classifications. We review data on 4910 European‐Americans that correlate 16 polymorphisms in the interleukin‐1B region with high gingival crevicular fluid‐interleukin‐1β levels. We show that inflammasome components are increased in diseased periodontal tissues and that the caspase‐1 inhibitor, VX‐765, inhibits ~50% of alveolar bone loss in experimental periodontitis. The literature review further supports that although patients clinically present with the same phenotype, the disease that develops probably has different underlying biological pathways. The current data indicate that inflammasomes have a role in periodontal disease pathogenesis. Understanding the contribution of different inflammasomes to disease development and distinct patient susceptibility will probably translate into improved, personalized therapies.

Abstract
Colchicine belongs to a large group of microtubule polymerization inhibitors. Although the anti-cancer activity of colchicine and its derivatives has been established, none of them has found commercial application in cancer treatment due to side effects. Therefore, we designed and synthesized a series of six triple-modified 4-chlorothiocolchicine analogues with amide moieties and one urea derivative. These novel derivatives were tested against several different cancer cell lines (A549, MCF-7, LoVo, LoVo/DX) and primary acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells and they showed activity in the nanomolar range. The obtained IC50 values for novel derivatives were lower than those obtained for unmodified colchicine and common anticancer drugs such as doxorubicin and cisplatin. Further studies of colchicine and selected analogues were undertaken to indicate that they induced apoptotic cell death in ALL-5 cells. We also performed in silico studies to predict binding modes of the 4-chlorothiocolchicine derivatives to different β tubulin isotypes. The results indicate that select triple-modified 4-chlorothiocolchicine derivatives represent highly promising novel cancer chemotherapeutics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Colchicine has been utilized safely in a variety of cardiovascular clinical conditions. Among its potential mechanisms of action is the non-selective inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome which is thought to be a major pathophysiologic component in the clinical course of patients with COVID-19. GRECCO-19 will be a prospective, randomized, open-labeled, controlled study to assess the effects of colchicine in COVID-19 complications prevention. METHODS Patients with laboratory confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection (under RT PCR) and clinical picture that involves temperature >37.5 oC and at least two out of the: i. sustained coughing, ii. sustained throat pain, iii. Anosmia and/or ageusia, iv. fatigue/tiredness, v. PaO2<95 mmHg will be included. Patients will be randomised (1:1) in colchicine or control group. RESULTS Trial results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations. CONCLUSION GRECCO-19 trial aims to identify whether colchicine may positively intervene in the clinical course of COVID-19. (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04326790).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Experimental and clinical evidence supports the role of inflammation in atherosclerosis and its complications. Colchicine is an orally administered, potent antiinflammatory medication that is indicated for the treatment of gout and pericarditis. METHODS We performed a randomized, double-blind trial involving patients recruited within 30 days after a myocardial infarction. The patients were randomly assigned to receive either low-dose colchicine (0.5 mg once daily) or placebo. The primary efficacy end point was a composite of death from cardiovascular causes, resuscitated cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction, stroke, or urgent hospitalization for angina leading to coronary revascularization. The components of the primary end point and safety were also assessed. RESULTS A total of 4745 patients were enrolled; 2366 patients were assigned to the colchicine group, and 2379 to the placebo group. Patients were followed for a median of 22.6 months. The primary end point occurred in 5.5% of the patients in the colchicine group, as compared with 7.1% of those in the placebo group (hazard ratio, 0.77; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.61 to 0.96; P = 0.02). The hazard ratios were 0.84 (95% CI, 0.46 to 1.52) for death from cardiovascular causes, 0.83 (95% CI, 0.25 to 2.73) for resuscitated cardiac arrest, 0.91 (95% CI, 0.68 to 1.21) for myocardial infarction, 0.26 (95% CI, 0.10 to 0.70) for stroke, and 0.50 (95% CI, 0.31 to 0.81) for urgent hospitalization for angina leading to coronary revascularization. Diarrhea was reported in 9.7% of the patients in the colchicine group and in 8.9% of those in the placebo group (P = 0.35). Pneumonia was reported as a serious adverse event in 0.9% of the patients in the colchicine group and in 0.4% of those in the placebo group (P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS Among patients with a recent myocardial infarction, colchicine at a dose of 0.5 mg daily led to a significantly lower risk of ischemic cardiovascular events than placebo.

Abstract
The autoinflammatory diseases comprise a broad spectrum of disorders characterized by unchecked activation of the innate immune system. Whereas aberrations in adaptive immunity have long been identified in 'autoimmune' disorders, the concept of 'autoinflammation' emerged relatively recently, first describing a group of clinical disorders characterized by spontaneous episodes of systemic inflammation without manifestations typical of autoimmune disorders. Improved knowledge of innate immune mechanisms, coupled with remarkable progress in genomics and an expanding number of clinical cases, has since led to an increasing number of disorders classified as autoinflammatory or containing an autoinflammatory component. Biologic therapies targeting specific components of the innate immune system have provided immense clinical benefit, and have further elucidated the role of innate immunity in autoinflammatory disorders. This article reviews the basic mechanisms of autoinflammation, followed by an update on the pathophysiology and treatment of the monogenic and multifactorial autoinflammatory diseases, and the common dermatologic conditions in which autoinflammation plays a major role.

Abstract
Colchicine was extracted from Gloriosa superba seeds using the Super Critical Fluid (CO2) Extraction (SCFE) technology. The seeds were purified upto 99.82% using column chromatography. Colchicine affinity was further investigated for anticancer activity in six human cancer cell lines, i.e., A549, MCF-7, MDA-MB231, PANC-1, HCT116, and SiHa. Purified colchicine showed the least cell cytotoxicity and antiproliferation and caused no G2/M arrest at clinically acceptable concentrations. Mitotic arrest was observed in only A549 and MDA-MB231 cell lines at 60nM concentration. Our finding indicated the possible use of colchicine at a clinically acceptable dose and provided insight into the science behind microtubule destabilization. However, more studies need to be conducted beforethese findings could be established.

Abstract
A 51-year-old South African female of Ashkenazi Jewish descent was admitted with acute pleuritic chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue and fever. She experienced vague abdominal and calf pains for 30 years. Her monozygotic twin was investigated independently for recurrent abdominal pain. Despite initially responding to antibiotics, treating suspected pneumonia, she developed recurrent fevers and pleuritic chest pain. After thorough investigation without significant findings, she re-attended days after discharge with similar symptoms. Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) was suggested as she met diagnostic criteria and responded to colchicine, though FMF normally presents before 20 years old. Genetic testing showed no pathogenic mutations but heterozygous P369S and R408Q mutations. The significance of these mutations remains unclear, as they are found in asymptomatic patients, suggesting incomplete penetrance. She remains well, with full symptom resolution, but mixed auto-inflammatory syndrome may be a more appropriate diagnosis in symptomatic patients with both P369S and R408Q mutations.
