Discovery of Novel 2,3-Dihydro-1H-indene-5-sulfonamide NLRP3 Inflammasome Inhibitors Targeting Colon as a Potential Therapy for Colitis

The NLRP3 inflammasome is a multiprotein complex that plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of multiple inflammation-related diseases. In this study, we designed and synthesized a series of novel 2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-5-sulfonamide analogues as NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitors, and then identified compound 15z as a potent and specific inhibitor (IC50: 0.13 μM) with low toxicity. Mechanistic studies indicate that 15z binds directly to NLRP3 protein (KD: 102.7 nM), blocking the assembly and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and effectively inhibiting cell pyroptosis. Given the notable distribution of 15z in the colon, the DSS-induced colitis model was employed to evaluate its in vivo effectiveness. 15z significantly impacted NLRP3 inflammasome activation and relieved inflammatory bowel disease symptoms in this model. Acute and subacute toxicity studies suggested that 15z has a favorable safety profile. Our results indicate that 15z has great potential to be further developed as a candidate for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.
