Abstract

The formation of the NLRP3inflammasome in the heart during acute myocardial infarction amplifies the inflammatory response and mediates further damage. Glyburide has NLRP3inhibitory activity in vitro but requires very high doses in vivo, associated with hypoglycemia. The aim of this study was to measure the effects on the NLRP3inflammasome of 16673-34-0, an intermediate substrate free of the cyclohexylurea moiety, involved in insulin release.
