YQ128 is a potent and selective second-generation NLRP3 (NOD-like receptor P3) inflammasome inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.30 μM. YQ128 significantly and selectively suppresses the production of IL-1β, but not TNF-α, and it can cross the BBB to reach the CNS. YQ128 has anti-inflammatory activity[1]. YQ128 is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Alkyne group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing Azide groups.
YQ128 is a potent and selective second-generation NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor with IC50 of 0.30 μM. YQ128 significantly and selectively inhibited the production of IL-1β, but not TNF-α. YQ128 can cross the blood-brain barrier to reach the central nervous system. YQ128 has anti-inflammatory activity.
YQ128 (0.3-100 μM; 30 mins) dose dependently suppressed the release of IL-1β from peritoneal macrophages upon LPS/ATP challenge with an IC 50 of 1.59 μM.
YQ128 (20 μM; 2 hours) shows no significant toxic effects on hCMEC/D3 cells.
