Used in research to inhibit NLRP3 and AIM2 inflammasomes, helping study inflammatory diseases such as Alzheimer's, type 2 diabetes, and autoimmune disorders. It reduces the activation of caspase-1 and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-1β and IL-18, making it a tool compound for exploring therapeutic strategies in chronic inflammation and neurodegenerative conditions. Also applied in cellular assays to probe inflammasome signaling pathways.
