inflammasome activation

hydrocotarnine is an inhibitor of Cbl.

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.

Colchicine is an orally active natural alkaloid that acts by inhibiting microtubule polymerization (IC50 = 3 nM) and as a competitive antagonist of the α3 glycine receptor. It possesses broad anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and antifibrotic activities, can inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome activation to prevent NSAID-induced small intestine injury, holds potential for gouty arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis research, and is commonly used to establish Alzheimer’s disease models.

Lipoxin A4 (LXA4) is a lipoxygenase-derived arachidonate-like mediator with anti-inflammatory properties.Lipoxin A4 attenuates MSU crystal-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation through inhibition of Nrf2, and regulates M1 M2 macrophage polarization through the FPR2-IRF pathway.Lipoxin inhibits oxidative stress and inflammation.

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.

Procyanidin B2 (Proanthocyanidin B2) has vascular protective, anti-diabetic nephropathy, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities. Procyanidin B2 inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation via suppression of AP-1 pathway.

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

Cucurbitacin D, a triterpenoid isolated from Ecballium elaterium (L.), exhibits anticancer and antitumor activity, inhibits glucose uptake and lactate production in metastatic PrC, and induces inflammasome activation independent of ERK1 2 activation. Cucurbitacin D, a novel inflammasome activator in macrophages, inhibits HepG2 cell proliferation and induces apoptosis by modulating the JAK STAT3, PI3K Akt mTOR and MAPK signaling pathways, and can be used in the study of cervical cancer, leukemia, and prostate cancer.
