Biological Activity

Description

Boceprevir (EBP 520, SCH 503034) is an oral, direct acting hepatitis C virus (HCV) protease inhibitor with Ki value of 14 nM for NS3. It is used in combination with other antiviral agents in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C, genotype 1.

Targets

NS3/4A protease ^[1]

14 nM(Ki)

In vitro

Treatment with NLRP3 Inflammasome Inhibitor I significantly limits IL-1β release after LPS and ATP challenge. NLRP3 Inflammasome Inhibitor I is not a caspase-1 inhibitor^[1].

In vivo

The small molecule NLRP3 Inflammasome Inhibitor I, an intermediate substrate in the glyburide synthesis free of the cyclohexylurea moiety, inhibits the formation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in cardiomyocytes and limits the infarct size following myocardial ischemia/reperfusion in the mouse, without affecting glucose metabolism^[1].

Protocol (from reference)

Cell Assay:^{^[1]}	Cell lines J774A.1 cells Concentrations 400 μM Incubation Time 30 mins Method J774A.1 cells, a murine macrophage cell line, are plated at 5×10⁴ cells/well in a 96 multiwell plate for 24 hours in RPMI medium supplemented with 10% of fetal bovine serum (FBS). The cells are primed with Escherichia coli 0111:B4 LPS(1 μg/ml) for 4 hours and then ATP (5 mM) for 30 minutes to induce the NLRP3 inflammasome formation. The supernatants are collected and levels of IL-1β are measured with a mouse IL-1β ELISA kit. To test the inhibitory effects of 16673-34-0 on NLRP3 inflammasome activation, cells are co-treated with 16673-34-0 (400μM) or Glyburide (400μM) at the time of ATP for 30 minutes, and IL-1β levels are used as read-out.
