Yadanzigan (YDZG) is an anti-inflammatory agent and a NLRP3 inhibitor. Yadanzigan specifically inhibits NLRP3 activation via inhibiting NF-κB pathway and Reactive Oxygen Species production. Yadanzigan also moderates LPS -induced acute lung injury (ALI) in mice.

1-Methoxycarbonyl-β-carboline is an alkaloid from Ailanthus altissima.

JC-1 is a fluorescent lipophilic carbocyanine dye. It has been used to measure mitochondrial membrane potential.?JC 1 can be used in a probe for measuring mitochondrial membrane potential by flow cytometry. JC-1 fluorescence is usually excited by the 488?nm laser wavelength common in flow cytometers. JC-1 (2.5?μM) exposed to murine L1210 lymphoblasts, can be detected the presence of both cytoplasmic JC-1 monomer and mitochondrial J-aggregates in these cells.
