Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a pharmaceutical composition, particularly a compound suitable for preventing and/or treating an inflammatory disease and/or a neurodegenerative disease. The present inventors accomplished the present invention by conducting intensive studies to find a compound having an inhibitory effect on NLRP3 inflammasome activation, with the result that a substituted triazine compound is found to have the inhibitory effect on NLRP3 inflammasome activation. The substituted triazine compound of the present invention is expected to serve as a preventive and/or therapeutic drug for an inflammatory disease and/or a neurodegenerative disease.
