A novel selective NLRP3 inhibitor shows disease-modifying potential in animal models of Parkinson's disease.

Pathological activation of the Nod-like receptor family pyrin domain containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome signaling underlies many autoimmune and neuroinflammatory conditions. Here we report that, a rationally designed, novel, orally active, selective NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor, Usnoflast (ZYIL1), showed potent inhibition of ATP, Nigericin and monosodium urate-mediated interleukin (IL)-1β release in THP-1 cells and human PBMC. In isolated microglia cells, the IC of ZYIL1 mediated inhibition of IL-1β was 43 nM.

Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of ZY-IL1 in Three Patients with Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndromes.

We present the first results of the proof-of-concept phase 2a study of oral NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor in subjects with cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS). Three adult subjects with a confirmed diagnosis of CAPS were enrolled and administered 50 mg of ZYIL1 twice daily for 7 days. A total of 5 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were reported in 2 subjects.

Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of the Oral NLRP3 Inflammasome Inhibitor ZYIL1: First-in-Human Phase 1 Studies (Single Ascending Dose and Multiple Ascending Dose).

ZYIL1 is a nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain, leucine rich repeat and pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome inhibitor, which prevents NLRP3-induced apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase activation and recruitment domain oligomerization, thus inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. We investigated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic profiles of ZYIL1 after single and multiple doses in healthy subjects. The subjects aged 18-55 years were enrolled in 2 different studies: single and multiple ascending dose.

Occurrence and phylogenetic analysis of avipoxvirus isolated from birds around Jammu.

Domesticated fowls, pigeons and turkey birds were screened for avipoxvirus infection from different areas in Jammu region. Based on typical pox lesions the overall occurrence in fowl was found to be 18.52%, 17.

Synthesis and structure-activity relationship of potent, selective and orally active anthranilamide-based factor Xa inhibitors: application of weakly basic sulfoximine group as novel S4 binding element.

A novel series of potent and efficacious factor Xa inhibitors which possesses sulfoximine moiety as novel S4 binding element in anthranilamide chemotype has been identified. Lead optimization at this novel P4 group led to many potent factor Xa inhibitors with excellent anticoagulant activity in human plasma. Selected compounds were dosed orally in rats and checked for their ex vivo prothrombin time prolonging activity, which resulted in identification of compound 5-chloro-N-(5-chloropyridin-2-yl)-2-(4-(N-(2-(diethylamino)acetyl)-S-methylsulfonimidoyl)benzamido)benzamide (18f).
