Azalamellarin N is a pyroptosis inhibitor that exhibits varying inhibitory effects on different pyroptosis inducers. It functions by targeting molecules upstream of NLRP3 inflammasome activation, instead of directly affecting the components of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Its inhibitory potency against various inducers is ranked as follows: Nigericin > R837 [1].
