Biological Activity
| Description | Thiocolchicoside (Thiocolchicine 2-glucoside analog, Coltramyl) is a natural occuring glycoside originated from the flower seeds of superba gloriosa with anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties as well as pronounced convulsant activity. It is also an antagonist of GABAA receptor. | |

| Targets |
|
|
| In vitro | Thiocolchicoside exhibits a selective affinity for the inhibitory gamma-aminobutyric acid and glycinergic receptors. It has an agonistic action at the spinal-strychnine-sensitive receptors that could mediate its myorelaxant effect. It might preferentially interact with a cortical subtype of the gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor that expresses low-affinity binding sites for GABA. GABAB receptors are largely unaffected by thiocolchicoside and hence do not contribute to its muscle relaxation action. Thiocolchicoside suppresses osteoclastogenesis induced by receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand, breast cancer and multiple myeloma cells through inhibition of inflammatory pathways[3]. | |
| In vivo | Thiocolchicoside is used as muscle relaxant agent without any side effects. It is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, undergoes first pass metabolism with an oral bioavailability of about 25 % and a biological half-life of 5-6 h. Thiocolchicoside is broken down in the body to a metabolite called 3-demethylthiocolchicine that could damage cells therefore inducing toxicity in the embryo, neoplastic changes and fertility reduction in male. Local skin preparations are less toxic[1]. |
