Abstract: Colchicum autumnale, also known as autumn saffron, has been widely researched for its pharmacological effects. Its main active ingredient, colchicine, is known for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antigout properties, particularly in the treatment of acute gout attacks. Colchicum autumnale also has cytotoxic properties, making it a promising candidate for cancer treatment. It has also been shown to have neuroprotective, antibacterial, and anti-arthritic effects. Despite its medicinal potential, colchicine is poisonous in high doses, so dosing needs to be done carefully. The plant’s various pharmacological properties demonstrate its medicinal value, but more research is needed to ensure its safe use.
