Discovery of alantolactone as a naturally occurring NLRP3 inhibitor to alleviate NLRP3‐driven inflammatory diseases in mice

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The NLR family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is activated in many inflammatory conditions. So far, no low MW compounds inhibiting NLRP3 have entered clinical use. Identification of naturally occurring NLRP3 inhibitors may be beneficial to the design and development of compounds targeting NLRP3. Alantolactone is a phytochemical from a traditional Chinese medicinal plant...
