| Targets |
The primary targets of NLRP3-IN-9 are NLRP3 ATPase and caspase-1. The NLRP3 inflammasome is a multi-protein complex that plays a critical role in the innate immune response by activating caspase-1, which in turn processes pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β and IL-18 into their active forms. NLRP3-IN-9 acts by irreversibly trapping thiol nucleophiles, which prevents both ATP- and nigericin-triggered pyroptosis of human THP-1 cells in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. By inhibiting NLRP3 ATPase and caspase-1, NLRP3-IN-9 prevents the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and the subsequent release of IL-1β. This mechanism of action makes it a valuable tool for studying inflammasome-mediated inflammation.

| ln Vitro |
In human THP-1 cells, INF4E (compound 9) inhibits ATP- and nigericin-triggered pyroptosis in a concentration- and time-dependent manner [3].
In vitro, NLRP3-IN-9 is a potent inhibitor of NLRP3 ATPase and caspase-1. It acts by irreversibly trapping thiol nucleophiles, which prevents both ATP- and nigericin-triggered pyroptosis of human THP-1 cells in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. The compound inhibits IL-1β release. Its activity is typically measured using cell-based assays that assess pyroptosis, caspase-1 activity, and IL-1β release in THP-1 cells or other inflammasome-competent cell lines. IC50 values are determined from dose-response curves. The compound's irreversible mechanism of action distinguishes it from reversible inflammasome inhibitors. |
| ln Vivo |
INF4E improves post-ischemic left ventricular pressure and dramatically lowers lactate dehydrogenase release and infarct size [1]. In a time-dependent way, INF4E reduces the production of the NLRP3 inflammasome complex that is triggered by cardiac IR (ischemia/reperfusion) [1].
In vivo, NLRP3-IN-9 (3, 10 mg/kg; i.p.) reduces inflammation and mechanical hyperalgesia in a mouse model of acute gout. It displays protective effects against ischemia-reperfusion (IR)-induced myocardial injury and dysfunction. NLRP3-IN-9 inhibits IL-1β release and reduces inflammation. These in vivo studies demonstrate that NLRP3-IN-9 is effective in reducing inflammasome-mediated inflammation in animal models. The compound's ability to reduce mechanical hyperalgesia suggests that it may have analgesic effects in addition to its anti-inflammatory activity. Its protective effects against myocardial injury indicate potential for treating cardiovascular conditions. |
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for NLRP3-IN-9 involve NLRP3 ATPase and caspase-1 activity assays using purified enzymes or cell lysates. The compound's inhibitory activity against NLRP3 ATPase is measured by monitoring ATP hydrolysis in the presence of the enzyme and varying concentrations of NLRP3-IN-9. Caspase-1 activity is measured using fluorogenic substrates that are cleaved by active caspase-1. IC50 values are determined from dose-response curves. The compound's irreversible mechanism of action can be confirmed by pre-incubation and dilution experiments, where the enzyme is incubated with the compound and then diluted to assess residual activity.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for NLRP3-IN-9 are conducted in human THP-1 cells or other inflammasome-competent cell lines. Cells are primed with LPS and then treated with ATP or nigericin to activate the NLRP3 inflammasome in the presence of varying concentrations of NLRP3-IN-9. Pyroptosis is assessed by measuring lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release or propidium iodide uptake. Caspase-1 activity is measured using fluorogenic substrates or by detecting cleaved caspase-1 by western blotting. IL-1β release is measured by ELISA. These assays confirm that NLRP3-IN-9 engages its targets in a cellular context and produces the expected inhibition of inflammasome activation.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for NLRP3-IN-9 are conducted in mouse models of acute gout and ischemia-reperfusion injury. In the gout model, mice are injected with monosodium urate (MSU) crystals to induce inflammation, and NLRP3-IN-9 is administered intraperitoneally at doses of 3 or 10 mg/kg. Inflammation and mechanical hyperalgesia are assessed by measuring paw swelling and pain sensitivity. In the ischemia-reperfusion model, mice undergo temporary occlusion of the coronary artery followed by reperfusion, and NLRP3-IN-9 is administered to assess its protective effects against myocardial injury and dysfunction. These studies confirm that NLRP3-IN-9 is effective in vivo and provide information about its therapeutic potential.

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic properties of NLRP3-IN-9 indicate that it has a molecular weight of 240.68 and a molecular formula of C12H13ClO3. The compound is also known as INF-4E, Ethyl 2-[(2-chlorophenyl)(hydroxy)methyl]acrylate. For storage, the powder should be kept under appropriate conditions to maintain stability. Its solubility and other physicochemical properties would need to be characterized for in vivo studies. The compound's irreversible mechanism of action may affect its pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicological information for NLRP3-IN-9 is primarily derived from its use as a research compound in preclinical studies. As an inhibitor of the NLRP3 inflammasome, potential on-target effects could include immunosuppression and increased susceptibility to infections, given the role of the inflammasome in the innate immune response. Comprehensive toxicology studies would be required for therapeutic development, including assessments of immune function, infection susceptibility, and organ toxicity. However, NLRP3-IN-9 is primarily used as a research tool and has not advanced to clinical development.
