Pyroptosis

Pyroptosis is a type of programmed cell death that features pore formation on the plasma membrane, cell swelling and plasma membrane disruption. Pyroptosis is a form of lytic programmed cell death initiated by inflammasomes, which detect cytosolic contamination or perturbation.

Gasdermin D (GSDMD), as the executive protein of pyroptosis, is activated and transferred to the membrane to induce glial rupture, resulting in the release of more inflammatory mediators.

Inflammasome is an intracellular signaling complex of the innate immune system. Activation of inflammasomes promotes the secretion of IL-1β/IL-18 and triggers pyroptosis. The proinflammatory effect of IL-1β/IL-18 and pyroptosis contributes to the development of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

    ICy-OH
    Inducer
    ICy-OH, an iodinated photosensitizer, is an effective anticancer agent. ICy-OH can be used not only for deep tissue imaging (λex=640 nm,λem=690-740 nm) but also to selectively induce cell death in pancreatic cancer cells via cell pyroptosis pathway.

  • HY-150971
    ICy-Q
    Inducer
    ICy-Q is a quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO-1)-activated near-infrared (NIR) reagent which can react with NQO-1 to release the reduction product ICy-OH. ICy-OH selectively induces pancreatic cancer cell death through the pyroptosis pathway. ICy-Q can be used as an effective tool for rapid and accurate diagnosis of intraoperative pathological sections.

    Antitumor agent-143
    Inducer
    Antitumor agent-143 (compound 2c) is an antitumor agent that blocks cell proliferation of A549 cells during the S phase and induces an early apoptosis. Antitumor agent-143 induces cell death via ferroptosis, apoptosis by a ROS-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction pathway and GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis.

    Antcin A
    Inhibitor
    Antcin A is a potent NLRP3 inhibitor that inhibits the assembly and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Antcin A can inhibit Kupffer cell pyroptosis and has liver protective activity. Antcin A can be used to study inflammation, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

    NLRP3-IN-26
    Inhibitor
    NLRP3-IN-26 (compound 15Z) is a NLRP3 inhibitor with the IC50 of 0.13 μM. NLRP3-IN-26 can be used for DSS-induced colitis model study.

  • HY-155517
    INF200
    Inhibitor
    INF200 (compound 5) is a sulfonylurea-based inhibitor of NLRP3 and NLRP3-mediated pyroptosis. INF200 has beneficial cardiometabolic effects in rat model of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced metaflammation,and shows anti-inflammatory activity to (10 μM) decreases IL-1β release in human macrophages. INF200 improves glucose and lipid profiles,and attenuates systemic inflammation and biomarkers of cardiac dysfunction (particularly BNP). INF200 also improves myocardial damage-dependent ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) in hemodynamic evaluation.

    D359-0396
    Inhibitor
    D359-0396 is an orally active NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor. D359-0396 inhibits pyroptosis and IL-1β release in macrophages. D359-0396 also inhibits the oligomerization of NLRP3, ASC and the cleavage of GSDMD. D359-0396 alleviates EAE, and also improves survival after septic shock in mice.

  • HY-156154
    Caspase-3 activator 1
    Inducer
    Caspase-3 activator 1 (compound 4b) is a Ru(III) metal complex that inhibits gastric tumor growth and metastasis. Caspase-3 activator 1 mediates caspase-3 cleavage, which in turn causes Caspase-3 to cleave gasdermin E (GSDME) to produce the GSDME-N terminus, causing gastric tumor cell membrane perforation. Caspase-3 activator 1 is capable of inducing pyroptosis and pyroptosis-induced immune responses and can be assembled with decitabine DCT (HY-A0004) into a 4b-DCT-Lip lipid delivery system.

    Azalamellarin N
    Inhibitor
    Azalamellarin N is an inhibitor of pyroptosis and has different inhibitory effects on different pyroptosis inducers. Azalamellarin N inhibits pyroptosis by targeting molecules that act upstream of NLRP3 inflammasome activation, rather than directly targeting components of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Inhibitory potency against different pyroptosis inducers: Nigericin (HY-127019) > R837 (HY-B0180).
