Background:

Pralnacasan (VX-740) is a potent, selective, non-peptide and orally active interleukin-1β converting enzyme (ICE, caspase 1) inhibitor with a Ki of 1.4 nM. Pralnacasan inhibits proinflammatory cytokines IL-18, IL-1β , and IFN-γ. Pralnacasan has the potential for osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis treatment[1][2].

Pralnacasan (0 -50 mg/kg; oral gavage; twice a day; for 6 weeks; female Balb/c mice) treatment reduces joint damage. Pralnacasan treatment does not appear to affect the weight of the animals[1].
