<prompt> Colchicine mechanism of action in acute goutInhibition of release of chemotactic factorsBinding to tubulin and inhibition of leucocyte migrationPromotes metabolism of urate crystalsInhibition of leukotriene B4  <response>: Ref. KDT. Page. 214It does not inhibit the synthesis or promote the excretion of uric acid. Direct lines from Tripathi, guides may lead you wrong. But they dont have an effect Colchicine MOAThe first two points is how it acts in acute GoutColchicine does not affect phagocytosis of urate crystals but inhibits release of the glycoprotein and the subsequent events.By binding to fibrillar protein tubulin, it inhibits granulocyte migration into the inflamed joint and thus interrupts the vicious cycle.Antimitotic: causes metaphase arrest by binding to microtubules of mitotic spindle.Increases gut motility through neural mechanisms
