URAT1-IN-16
URAT1-IN-16 is an orally active URAT1 inhibitor with an IC50 value of 0.19 μM. URAT1-IN-16 also functions as an NLRP3 inflammasome pathway inhibitor by effectively suppressing mature IL-1β secretion (IC50 = 2.52 μM). URAT1-IN-16 exhibits remarkable serum uric acid-lowering and anti-inflammatory activities in vivo, and can be used for hyperuricemia and gout research.

In Vitro
URAT1-IN-16 (Compound 2) (30 min pre-incubation; 5 min uptake assay) potently inhibits human URAT1-mediated 14C-uric acid uptake in hURAT1-transfected HEK293T cells (IC50 = 0.19 μM)[1].
URAT1-IN-16 (up to 10 μM; 15 min) dose-dependently inhibits mature IL-1β secretion and active Caspase-1 generation in LPS-primed and ATP-stimulated mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) (IC50 = 2.52 μM)[1].

Parmacokinetics
In Vivo
URAT1-IN-16 (2 mg/kg; p.o.; single dose) significantly decreases serum uric acid (SUA) levels in a rat model of hyperuricemia[1].
URAT1-IN-16 (500-1500 mg/kg; p.o.; single dose) exhibits high acute safety profiles with a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) above 1000 mg/kg in healthy Kunming mice[1].
URAT1-IN-16 (50 mg/kg; p.o.; every other day; for 28 days) shows favorable subacute tolerance with no organic toxicity or weight differences in healthy Kunming mice[1].

Research Protocol for Inflammation-related Diseases
The NLRP3 inflammasome is a cytosolic innate immune signaling platform that integrates priming signals and danger-signal activation to promote caspase-1 activation, maturation of IL-1β and IL-18, and gasdermin D-mediated pyroptotic cell death. The core experimental logic is to determine whether inflammatory disease phenotypes are driven by increased NLRP3 expression, ASC-containing inflammasome assembly, caspase-1 cleavage, GSDMD cleavage, and extracellular release of IL-1β/IL-18 rather than by nonspecific cell injury alone. The pathway is strongly linked to inflammation-related disease phenotypes because monosodium urate crystals activate NALP3/NLRP3 inflammasome signaling in gout-like crystal inflammation, cholesterol crystals activate NLRP3 inflammasomes in atherogenesis models, and DSS-induced intestinal inflammation has been reported to involve NLRP3 inflammasome activity. However, experimental colitis studies also show context-dependent protective effects of NLRP3 inflammasome co

Pyroptosis Solutions
Pyroptosis is a lytic inflammatory cell-death pathway executed by gasdermin pores, most classically through inflammasome-mediated activation of caspase-1, cleavage of gasdermin D, membrane pore formation, LDH release, and secretion of IL-1β and IL-18. The canonical pathway is commonly modeled by priming cells with an inflammatory signal such as LPS to induce pro-IL-1β and inflammasome components, followed by an activation signal such as ATP or nigericin to activate NLRP3, ASC speck formation, caspase-1 cleavage, GSDMD cleavage, cytokine release, and pyroptotic membrane rupture. The non-canonical pathway is triggered when cytosolic LPS activates mouse caspase-11 or human caspase-4/5, leading to GSDMD cleavage and pyroptosis, and this can secondarily activate NLRP3-dependent IL-1β release. Pyroptosis is linked to inflammatory injury, infection, cancer, liver disease, ocular disease, placental inflammation, and other disease phenotypes, but unresolved questions include which gasdermin fam
