Synthetic organic
Comment: NP3-253 is a brain-penetrant tricyclic NLRP3 inhibitor [2]. The compound acts to lock the receptor's NACHT domain in a closed and inactive conformation, thus blocking inflammasome activation. NP3-253 is proposed to suppress inflammasome-mediated pro-inflammatory cytokine production in diseases that are associated with chronic peripheral and neuroinflammation (cardiometabolic diseases, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis) [1].

Bioactivity Comments |
NP3-253 fully blocks IL-1β secretion in the mouse LPS/ATP peritonitis model, and reduces IL-1β in the serum and CSF from an LPS-induced neuroinflammation model [2]. It inhibits LPS/ATP-stimulated IL-1β production in mouse whole blood with IC50 2.5 nM. |
