NLRP3, one of the HSP-90 clients, has been defined as a critical component of IBD. In a rat model of DSS-induced colitis, we investigated the anti-inflammatory potential of the combined therapy with CP-456773 (CP), an NLRP3 inhibitor, and celastrol (CSR), an NF-kappa B inhibitor. Our results revealed that the CSR/CP combined therapy (CCCT) attenuated colon shortening, DAI and MDI in addition to improvement of the colonic histological picture. Moreover, the CCCT increased the antioxidant defense machinery of the colonic tissue and decreased MPO activity. Furthermore, the inflammation markers such as TNF-alpha and IL-6 were downregulated. These effects might be attributed to the inhibitory effect of CSR on the priming step of the NLRP3 inflammasome activation by interrupting NF-kappa B signalling and inhibition of HSP-90 (at the protein and mRNA levels) along with inhibitory effect of CP on the expression of the NLRP3. These latter effects resulted in decreased tissue expression and activity of the caspase-1 and repressing the subsequent release of the active forms of IL-1 beta and IL-18, hence, the pyroptosis process is restrained. Additionally, the CCCT resulted in inducing autophagy by AMPK/mTOR-dependent mechanisms leading to the accumulation of BECN1 protein and a significant decrease in the levels of p62 SQSTM1. The inhibitory effect on HSP-90 in conjunction with induction of autophagy suggest increased autophagic degradation of NLRP3. This novel approach provides a basis for the clinical application of this combination in IBD treatment and might also be promising for the pharmacological intervention of other NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent inflammatory conditions.

Quantitative structure-activity relationships and drug-likeness evaluations were investigated for 33 compounds of 1,2-diazole derivatives as anti-mycobacterium tuberculosis. MLR procedures were used to obtain QSAR models. The predictivity of the models was estimated using cross-validation with the leave-one-out method. The results show a high correlation between the experimental and predicted activity values, indicating the good quality of the QSAR model.
