NLRP3 inflammasome mediated release of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) has been implicated in various diseases, including COVID-19. In this study, rationally designed alkenyl sulfonylurea derivatives were identified as novel, potent and orally bioavailable NLRP3 inhibitors. Compound 7 was found to be potent (IL-1β IC<sub>50</sub> = 35 nM; IL-18 IC<sub>50</sub> = 33 nM) and selective NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor with excellent pharmacokinetic profile having oral bioavailability of 99% in mice. ...[more]
