Rhein Inhibits NLRP3 Activation and Alleviates Microglial Pyroptosis After Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Rats

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Rhein treatment inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome activation, suppresses Caspase‐1/GSDMD‐mediated pyroptosis, reduces pro‐inflammatory cytokine release, promotes M2 polarization, and improves behavioral outcomes of ICH. These findings suggest that rhein protects against ICH‐induced brain injury through the inhibition of NLRP3‐dependent pyroptosis ...
