NPT1220-312, a TLR2/TLR9 Small Molecule Antagonist, Inhibits Pro-Inflammatory Signaling, Cytokine Release, and NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation by Agata Habas, Srinivasa Reddy Natala, Jon K. Bowden-Verhoek, Emily M. Stocking, Diana L. Price, Wolfgang Wrasidlo, Douglas W. Bonhaus, Martin B. Gill

“…A growing body of evidence suggests that excessive TLR-mediated innate immune system activation can lead to neuronal damage and precipitate or perpetuate neurodegenerative diseases. Among TLR subtypes, both TLR2 and TLR9 have been implicated in neurodegenerative disorders with increased expression of these receptors in the central nervous system being associated with pro-inflammatory signaling and increased burdens of pathologic aggregated proteins. …”
