Charged polymeric webs, such as electret webs, include a thermoplastic resin and a charge-enhancing additive. The additives are substituted heterocyclic thiolate salts. The heterocyclic thiolate salt has 2 nitrogen groups and a third group that may be an NH, N—NH.sub.2, O, or S group. The substituent group is an aromatic or heterocyclic aromatic group. The electret webs may be a non-woven fibrous web or a film. The electret webs are suitable for use as filter media.

The present invention relates to sulfonylureas and sulfonylthioureas comprising a 5-membered nitrogen-containing heteroaryl ring attached to the sulfonyl group, wherein the heteroaryl ring is substituted with a nitrogen-containing group R.sup.1′ wherein R.sup.1 contains from 1 to 7 atoms other than hydrogen or halogen. 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 inhibition of NLRP.sub.3.
