colchicine
Anti-gout plant extract
Colchicine is a drug derived from the autumn crocus plant, used primarily to treat gout by reducing inflammation during acute attacks.
It works by interfering with cell division, which also makes it useful in plant breeding to create polyploid varieties.
The doctor prescribed colchicine for his gout flare-up.
