Myrtenal and β-caryophyllene oxide screened from Liquidambaris Fructus suppress NLRP3 inflammasome components in rheumatoid arthritis

Key Findings:  Myrtenal and β-caryophyllene oxide, used in a petroleum ether extract of Liquidambaris Fructus in this experiment, showed the potential to suppress NLRP3 inflammasome activation, potentially leading to therapeutic uses in the treatment of inflammatory symptoms related to conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.
