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].
