The invention discloses application of 1, 5-anhydro-D-
sorbitol (1, 5-anhydroglaucitol, called 1, 5-AG for short) in inhibition of activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes, and particularly discloses application of 1, 5-anhydro-D-
sorbitol (1, 5-AG for short) in inhibition of activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes. The invention relates to an application of 1, 5-anhydro-D-
sorbitol in preparation of a
medicine for inhibiting activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes, in particular to an application of 1, 5-anhydro-D-sorbitol. The NLRP3
inflammasome activation related diseases are selected from septicaemia induced by LPS,
gouty arthritis induced by MSU, non-
alcoholic fatty liver disease,
systemic inflammatory response syndrome or
inflammatory bowel disease. The 1, 5-AG is combined with an NATCH structural domain of the NLRP3
protein, so that the interaction between the 1, 5-AG and NEK7 and ASC is inhibited. The invention relates to an application of 1, 5-anhydro-D-sorbitol in preparation of
functional food for inhibiting activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes. The 1, 5-AG is natural in source, high in oral
bioavailability and high in safety, and has the
advantage of being further developed into
inflammation regulation drugs or dietary supplements.
