In a review by Kopalli et al, NLRP3 inflammasome activation inhibitors are discussed in detail. These include Quercetin, Apo-9-fucoxantinone, Polyenylpyrrole derivatives, Creosol, Cyclic diarylboron derivatives, and Diacerein and analogs that generally reduce assembly of NLRP3 inflammasome complex and IL-1β secretion [21]. There are other studies introducing novel compounds including type 1 interferons and autophagy inducers like resveratrol, arglabin, Cannabinoid Receptor Subtype 2 (CB2R) agonist and micro RNA-223, but very few have shown promise in the cancer-related clinical settings due to their unfitting characteristics as a drug-like NLRP3 complex inhibitor [21,36].
