Description
An irreversible inhibitor of the NLRP3 inflammasome; inhibits activation of caspase-1 and release of IL-1β and LDH induced by ATP or nigericin in LPS-primed BMDMs at 10 µM; reduces ATP-induced pyroptosis in LPS-primed THP-1 cells by 33.6% at 10 µM; prevents increases in IL-1β protein levels induced by DNBS in the colon in a rat model of colitis; reduces the severity of pancreatic lesions and serum levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6 during caerulein- and LPS-induced pancreatitis in mice at 25 and 50 mg/kg
