Antcin A is a potent NLRP3 inhibitor that inhibits the assembly and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Antcin A can inhibit Kupffer cell pyroptosis and has liver protective activity. Antcin A can be used to study inflammation, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease[1].

ChEBI: Antcin A is an ergostanoid. It has a role as a metabolite.
