Potent Caspase-1 Antagonists From Dihydropyridine Derivatives: In Vitro Fluorescence Assays and Cell Imaging. (PubMed, ChemMedChem) - Sep 21, 2026 - "THD, which exhibited comparable potency to the well-known inhibitor VX-765 (3.68 nM), was selected for further investigation...Western blot analysis of PMA-differentiated THP-1 cells further supported this observation by showing reduced cleaved IL-1β levels in the presence of THD. This inhibitory effect of THD on caspase-1 activity in a complex cell system was further confirmed by the concentration-dependent morphological changes in BMDMs."
