ZyVersa is developing Inflammasome ASC Inhibitor IC 100 which can inhibit up to 12 different inflammasomes (including NLRP3 inflammasomes) and their associated ASC specks which perpetuate damaging inflammation.

Key Points: 
  • ZyVersa is developing Inflammasome ASC Inhibitor IC 100 which can inhibit up to 12 different inflammasomes (including NLRP3 inflammasomes) and their associated ASC specks which perpetuate damaging inflammation.
  • Inhibiting the inflammasome NLRP3 pathway, including downstream caspase-1, rescued the kidneys from PM2.5-induced cell death.
  • The authors stated, “We further provided evidence that NLRP3-mediated pyroptosis plays critical roles in the progression of kidney injury induced by PM2.5 exposure.
  • Inhibiting the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome can remarkably protect the renal tubular epithelial cells from PM2.5-induced proptosis.” To read the article, Click Here .
