    Journal: Bioorg Med Chem Lett; 2009 Oct 15; 19(20):5970-4. PubMed ID: 19765986.
    Abstract:
    Fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) has attracted significant attention due to its promise as an analgesic target. This has resulted in the discovery of numerous chemical classes as inhibitors of this potential therapeutic target. In this paper we disclose a new series of novel FAAH irreversible azetidine urea inhibitors. In general these compounds illustrate potent activity against the rat FAAH enzyme. Our SAR studies allowed us to optimize this series resulting in the identification of compounds 13 which were potent inhibitors of both human and rat enzyme. This series of compounds illustrated good hydrolase selectivity along with good PK properties.
