Comment: Dapansutrile (OLT1177) acts as a NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor. It is a clinical candidate that is being developed by Olatec Therapeutics. Inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome reduces maturation of the pro-inflammatory, disease-associated cytokines IL-1β and IL-18 [3]. Immunoprecipitation and FRET analysis indicates that OLT1177 inhibits inflammasome oligomerization by blocking NLRP3-ASC, and NLRP3-caspase-1 interaction, but may also directly target NLRP3 (as assessed by inhibition of recombinant NLRP3 ATPase activity by dapansutrile) [3].
