| Targets |
JC2-11 targets multiple inflammasome complexes. Inflammasomes are multi-protein complexes that play a critical role in the innate immune response by activating caspase-1, which leads to the processing and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18. JC2-11 inhibits the activation of the NLRP3, NLRC4, AIM2, and non-canonical inflammasomes. It exerts its effects by reducing mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, inhibiting caspase-1 activity, and lowering IL-1β secretion. This broad-spectrum activity makes it a valuable tool for studying inflammasome biology.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, JC2-11 is a potent inhibitor of inflammasome activation. It inhibits the recruitment domain-containing proteins NLRC4, AIM2, and non-canonical (NC) inflammasomes. It reduces the secretion of caspase-1 (p20), the cleavage of gasdermin D (GSDMD), and the release of IL-1β and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) from inflammasome-activated cells. By inhibiting ROS production and caspase-1 activity, it effectively blocks the inflammatory cascade downstream of inflammasome activation.
|
| ln Vivo |
JC2-11 (250 μg/mouse; intraperitoneal injection; single dosage) reduced NC Activation of the inflammasome and dramatically decreased the release of caspase-1 (p20) and IL-1β in the non-canonical (NC) inflammasome in the C57BL/6 mouse model [1].
In vivo, JC2-11 has demonstrated efficacy in a mouse model of inflammation. In C57BL/6 mice, a single intraperitoneal injection of JC2-11 (250 μg/mouse) reduced non-canonical (NC) inflammasome activation and dramatically decreased the release of caspase-1 (p20) and IL-1β. This confirms the compound's ability to inhibit inflammasome activation in a living organism and supports its use as a pharmacological tool for studying inflammasome-driven pathology. |
| Enzyme Assay |
The inhibitory activity of JC2-11 is typically assessed using in vitro inflammasome activation assays. Primary macrophages, such as bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs), are primed with LPS and then stimulated with various inflammasome activators (e.g., nigericin for NLRP3, flagellin for NLRC4, poly(dA:dT) for AIM2). Cells are treated with varying concentrations of JC2-11, and the secretion of IL-1β and IL-18 is measured by ELISA. Caspase-1 activation is assessed by measuring the cleavage of its substrate or by Western blot for caspase-1 (p20). These assays quantify the compound's potency in inhibiting inflammasome activation.
|
| Cell Assay |
The cellular activity of JC2-11 is evaluated in immune cells, such as macrophages or dendritic cells. Cells are treated with JC2-11 and then stimulated with inflammasome activators. The production of IL-1β and IL-18 in the supernatant is measured by ELISA. The cleavage of gasdermin D (GSDMD) and caspase-1 is assessed by Western blot. The release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is measured as an indicator of cell lysis. These assays confirm the compound's ability to inhibit inflammasome activation and pyroptosis.

| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: C57BL/6 mice (8 weeks, female)[1].
Doses: 250 μg/mouse. Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip)injection; single dose. Experimental Results: demonstrated inhibitory effect on NC inflammatory body. In animal studies, JC2-11 is typically administered to mice via intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection. In the cited study, a single dose of 250 μg/mouse was used. In models of inflammasome-driven diseases, such as sepsis, peritonitis, or inflammatory bowel disease, the compound could be given to assess its effect on disease severity and inflammatory markers. Efficacy endpoints include the measurement of IL-1β and IL-18 levels in serum or tissues, as well as histopathological analysis. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
JC2-11 is a small molecule with a molecular weight of 302.30 and a formula of C17H15FO4. It is soluble in DMSO (≥100 mg/mL) and is typically stored as a powder at -20°C or in solution at -80°C. Its chemical name is (E)-1-(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)-3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one. Detailed pharmacokinetic parameters, such as half-life and bioavailability, are not extensively documented in publicly available sources.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicology data for JC2-11 is limited, as it is a research compound not intended for human therapeutic use. Its safety profile has not been established in formal toxicology studies. However, its use in animal models at the reported dose (250 μg/mouse) suggests it is tolerated in those contexts. Its use is limited to research applications and it is not intended for human therapeutic use.
