Abstract
The NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950/CRID3 ameliorates a remarkable number of inflammatory disorders in animal models. Herein we describe a trifluoromethyl phenyl diazirine (TPD) photoaffinity probe, called TPD-950-Br, to probe the molecular interactions of MCC950. We show that TPD-950-Br covalently captures proximal species upon photo-activation and inhibits IL-1β production in an NLRP3 inhibitor assay.
