  3. MNP2

MNP2 is a NLRP3-ASC interaction inhibitor. MNP2 selectively binds to the PYD domain of ASC (Ka=149 nM) and blocks ASC-PYM binding (Ka=58 nM), thereby inhibiting the interaction between ASC and NLRP3 and suppressing the formation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. MNP2 inhibits IL-1β release and caspase-1 maturation, and reduces the efflux of potassium and chloride ions. MNP2 prevents mitochondrial damage and reactive oxygen species production, and significantly decreases NLRP3 inflammasome formation in neurodegenerative pathologies induced by β-amyloid, Tau protein and α-synuclein. MNP2 is applicable for the research of neurodegenerative diseases.

In Vitro

MNP2 (20-100 μM; 24 h) potently inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome activation in N9 microglia, with an IC50 of 2.57 μM for IL-1β and 16.23 μM for caspase-1, while also resisting pyroptosis induced by 1 μg/mL LPS+ATP or LPS+Aβ/Tau/α-Syn[1].
MNP2 (100 μM; 24-48 h) remains stable for 48 hours in fetal bovine serum (FBS) and for 24 hours in human serum[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
