Popis: The small molecule oridonin (Ori) from the traditional Chinese herb Rabdosia rubescens has anti-inflammatory activity. Here the authors show that Ori can be covalently linked to NLRP3 to prevent assembly of the NLRP3 inflammasome, and to ameliorate inflammation in several mouse disease models.
