Inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation is a prospective therapeutic strategy for uncontrolled inflammatory diseases. It is the first time that dronedarone, a multiply ion channel blocker, was identified as a NLRP3-inflammasome inhibitor with an IC value of 6.84 μM against IL-1β release. A series of novel 5-amide benzofuran derivatives were designed and synthesized as NLRP3-inflammasome inhibitors. Compound 8c showed slightly increased activity (IC = 3.85 μM) against IL-1β release. Notably, treatment with 8c could significantly inhibit NLRP3-mediated IL-1β release and ameliorate peritoneal inflammation in a mouse model of sepsis. Collectively, 8c is a promising lead compound for further chemical development as a NLRP3 inhibitor with anti-inflammation effects.
抑制 NLRP3 炎性小体的激活是治疗失控性炎症性疾病的一种有前景的治疗策略。多离子通道阻滞剂决奈达隆首次被鉴定为 NLRP3 炎性小体抑制剂,其对白细胞介素-1β(IL-1β)释放的 IC 值为 6.84μM。设计并合成了一系列新型 5-酰胺苯并呋喃衍生物作为 NLRP3 炎性小体抑制剂。化合物 8c 对白细胞介素-1β(IL-1β)释放的活性略有增加(IC = 3.85μM)。值得注意的是,8c 的治疗可显著抑制 NLRP3 介导的白细胞介素-1β(IL-1β)释放,并改善脓毒症小鼠模型中的腹膜炎症。总之,8c 是一种有前途的先导化合物,可作为一种具有抗炎作用的 NLRP3 抑制剂进一步进行化学开发。
