From: Dynamic roles of inflammasomes in inflammatory tumor microenvironment

Natural compounds

Mechanisms

Ref.

Curcumin

Reduced expression of NLRP3, inhibition of caspase-1 cleavage, and secretion of IL-1β

132

Curcumin

Inhibition IL-1β secretion in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) by preventing K+ efflux, ROS generation, and cathepsin B release

133,134

Resveratrol

Inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome via preventing assembly of ASC and NLRP3 on the mitochondria and ER

135

cis-resveratrol

Inhibition of IL-1β secretion by suppression of P2X7R and ROS production

136

Sulforaphane

Inhibition of Aβ1-42-induced caspase-1 dependent inflammasome activation via inhibition of STAT-1 phosphorylation and activation of the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling cascade

137

Sulforaphane

Reduced monosodium urate (MSU) crystal-induced IL-1β secretion in peritonitis model, and inhibited NLRP1b, NLRP3, NAIP5/NLRC4 and AIM2 inflammasomes in BMDMs
