Dichloroacetate-mediated PDH activation redirects pyruvate into TCA cycle, reducing NADPH and acetyl-CoA substrate supply for de novo lipogenesis. Metabolic correction approach that bypasses direct AMPK targeting. Weak CNS pharmacology and non-neuron-specific effects limit utility; requires neuron-specific validation.
Pharmacological NLRP3 inhibition via MCC950 breaks the lipid-inflammasome feedback loop that perpetuates microglial activation. Does not require upstream lipid normalization; directly tests whether established inflammation is reversible. Most clinically actionable surviving hypothesis with tractable medicinal chemistry and established translational pathway.
Convergent vs Divergent Predictions
This summary checks where the selected hypotheses point toward the same target or mechanism, and where they pull in opposite directions.
