In our efforts to develop novel small-molecule inhibitors for the NOD-like receptor family pyrin-domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome as potential disease-modifying agents to treat neurological disorders including multiple sclerosis (MS), a hydroxyl sulfonamide analogue JC-171 has been rationally designed and biologically characterized both in vitro and in vivo. Our studies established that JC-171 dose dependently inhibited LPS/ATP-induced interleukin-1β (IL-1β) release from J774A.1 macrophages with an IC50 of 8.45 ± 1.56 μM. Selective inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome induced IL-1β release by this compound was also confirmed using mouse bone-marrow-derived macrophages and LPS-challenged mice in vivo. Furthermore, immunoprecipitation study revealed that JC-171 interfered with NLRP3/ASC interaction induced by LPS/ATP stimulation. More importantly, JC-171 treatment delayed the progression and reduced the severity of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a mouse model of MS, in both prophylactic and therapeutic settings. This coincided with blocking of IL-1β production and a pathogenic Th17 response. Collectively, these results suggest that JC-171 is a selective NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor with biological activity in vivo, thus strongly encouraging further development of this lead compound as a potential therapeutic agent for human MS.

Inhibitors with anti-inflammatory agents are provided, as are methods of using the analogs to inhibit inflammation and prevent or treat diseases and conditions associated with inflammation, such as multiple sclerosis and autoinflammatory diseases.
