ZYIL1 is a novel oral selective NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor which prevents NLRP3-induced ASC oligomerization, thus inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. ZYIL1 is expected to show benefit in patients demonstrating cytokine, like IL1β flare, including those exhibiting cytokine storm related to COVID-19 and other viral inflammatory diseases.
