High‐Throughput Screening Reveals That CeeNU Acts as a New NLRP3 Inflammasome Inhibitor
We conducted a high‐throughput screen of 2747 FDA‐approved drugs to identify inhibitors of pyroptosis. We found that CeeNU significantly repressed NLRP3‐dependent IL‐1β release and GSDMD pore‐forming complex. We identified that the arginine 335 amino acid of the NACHT domain of NLRP3 is the critical point for human NLRP3 and CeeNU interaction and ...
