Thiolutin (Acetopyrrothin) is a sulfur-containing antibiotic and a potent inhibitor of bacterial and yeast RNA polymerases. It acts as a dual inhibitor of BRCC36 and the NLRP3 inflammasome, demonstrating anti-inflammatory effects. It suppresses the interaction between BRCC36 and HMGCR, inhibiting HCC growth, attenuating pyroptosis and NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and alleviating renal injury and inflammatory processes. Thiolutin is also an anti-angiogenic compound that can ease Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DOXIC).
