NOD-like Receptor (NLR)

Nigericin sodium salt is an antibiotic, an NLRP3 activator, and a cationic ion carrier. Nigericin sodium triggers the activation of the NALP3 inflammasome, which inhibits Golgi function and suppresses the growth of Gram-positive bacteria.

Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a gut microbiota-dependent metabolite derived from dietary choline, betaine, and carnitine. It induces inflammation by activating the ROS/NLRP3 inflammasome and promotes fibroblast differentiation through the activation of the TGF-β/Smad2 signaling pathway. TMAO is commonly used to induce cardiac fibrosis models.

Muscone (3-Methylcyclopentadecanone) is an organic compound that is the primary contributor to the odor of musk.

1. Licochalcone B (LCB) inhibits the proliferation of human malignant bladder cancer cell lines (T24 and EJ) in vitro and antitumor activity in vivo in MB49 (murine bladder cancer cell line) tumor model. 2. LCB and Licochalcone D(LCD) significantly reduce

Arglabin ((+)-Arglabin) is a natural product isolated from Artemisia glabella, is a NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor, has anti-atherogenic and anticancer effects.

antcin A is a steroid-like phytochemical isolated from the fruiting bodies of a precious edible mushroom Antrodia cinnamomea with strong anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects.

Troxerutin (Trihydroxyethylrutin), a natural bioflavonoid, is isolated from Sophora japonica. It has many benefits and medicinal properties.

N4-Acetylcytidine (N-Acetylcytidine) is a modified nucleoside. N4-acetylcytidine is an endogenous urinary nucleoside product of the degradation of transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA); urinary nucleosides are biological markers for patients with colorectal cancer.

Icariside I (Lcariside I) is isolated from Epimedium herb. It can stimulate osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and inhibit bone resorption activity of osteoclasts.

1. Ruscogenin has anti-inflammatory activity, suppressed zymosan A-evoked peritoneal total leukocyte migration in mice in a dose-dependent manner, 2. Ruscogenin inhibited adhesion of leukocytes to a human umbilical vein endothelial cell line (ECV34) injured by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in a concentration-dependent manner. 3. Ruscogenin significantly attenuate LPS-induced acute lung injury via inhibiting expressions of TF and iNOS and NF-kappa B p65 activation.

Nigericin is a polyether antibiotic with potent antimicrobial, antimalarial, anticoronaviral and anticancer activities. It is capable of promoting cellular potassium efflux, inducing Caspase-1/GSDMD and Caspase-3-mediated cellular pyroptosis and apoptosis in triple-negative breast cancer, and inducing apoptosis in PEL (primary exudative lymphoma) cells through mitochondrial dysfunction and Wnt/β-catenin signaling downregulation.

QS-21, an immunostimulatory saponin, is a potent vaccine adjuvant that stimulates both Th2 humoral and Th1 cell-mediated immune responses by interacting with antigen presenting cells (APCs) and T cells. Furthermore, QS-21 activates the NLRP3 inflammasome, leading to the release of cytokines IL-1β and IL-18, dependent on caspase-1.

Echinatin (Retrochalcone) is extracted from licorice and is a natural chalcone. Echinatin has a wide range of biological activities including hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial infections, and attenuates lung damage.

4'-Methoxyresveratrol (4'-O-Methylresveratrol) is a natural product from the roots of *Rheum palmatum* L., with significant hypoglycemic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. 4'-Methoxyresveratrol alleviates AGE-induced inflammation by suppressing RAGE-mediated MAPK NF-κB signaling pathway and NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

Britannin, a sesquiterpene lactone, inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis through the mitochondrial signaling pathway in human breast cancer cells.

1. Sweroside possesses strong hepatoprotective effect. 2. Sweroside is a promising osteoporosis therapeutic natural product, has anti-osteoporotic effect on the human MG-63 cells and rat osteoblasts.

Isoandrographolide, a compound known for its cell differentiation-inducing and hepatoprotective effects, also inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome activation and mitigates silicosis in mice.

Soyasaponin II has antiviral effects, it can inhibit the replication of human cytomegalovirus, influenza virus, and human immunodeficiency virus type 1.

Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate hydrate (18α-Glycyrrhizic acid Magnesium hydrate) is an active ingredient derived from licorice with anti-inflammatory properties. It lowers alanine and aspartate aminotransferase activities and can be used in HIV-1 infection research.

Trimethylamine N-oxide dihydrate (TMANO dihydrate) is a gut microbiota-dependent metabolite derived from dietary choline and other trimethylamine-containing nutrients. It induces inflammation by activating the ROS NLRP3 inflammasome and promotes fibroblast differentiation and cardiac fibrosis via the TGF-β Smad2 signaling pathway. TMANO dihydrate can be used to establish models of cardiac hypertrophy and cardiac fibrosis.
