Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates and prodrugs thereof: wherein Q is selected from O, S and Se; J is S or Se; W1 and W2, when present, are independently selected from N and C; R1 and R2 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C1-C12 alkyl, C2-C12 alkenyl, C2-C12 alkynyl, aryl, heterocyclyl, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, amino, amido, alkylthio, acyl, arylalkyl and acylamido, all of which may be optionally substituted; and wherein at least one of W1 and W2 is present and is a nitrogen atom and when R1 or R2 are cyclic then the respective W1 or W2 may form part of the ring structure. The present invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions including such compounds, to methods of treatment using such compounds, in particular in relation to NLRP3 inflammasome mediated disorders, and to associated diagnostic uses.

Abstract: The present invention provides for certain sulfonyl ureas and related compounds which have advantageous properties and show useful activity in the inhibition of activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Such compounds are useful in the treatment of a wide range of disorders in which the inflammation process, or more specifically the NLRP3 inflammasome, have been implicated as being a key factor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I): wherein Q is O or S; R1 is a cyclic group substituted with at least one group X, wherein R1 may optionally be further substituted; X is any group comprising a carbonyl group; and R2 is a cyclic group substituted at the ?-position, wherein R2 may optionally be further substituted. The present invention further relates to salts, solvates and prodrugs of such compounds, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and to the use of such compounds in the treatment and prevention of medical disorders and diseases, most especially by the dual action of NLRP3 inhibition and the stimulation of insulin secretion.
