some other non-urea sEH inhibitors previously reported.21 How-
ever, compound 7-4423 showed good stability and it will be further
explored in various in vivo experiments. Our future work will focus
as well on possible combinations of these data obtained from this
SAR study and combinations of related fragments that would be
used for future design of highly potent inhibitors with improved
pharmacokinetic profiles.

22. In vitro human liver microsomal metabolic stability: Microsomal stability was
assessed in pooled human liver microsomes (Celsis, Edison, NJ). All reactions
were carried out for 90 min at 37 °C in an NADPH-generating system consisting
of glucose 6-phosphate, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and NADP+
(Sigma, St., Louis, MO). Positive control incubations proceeded with 7-
ethoxycoumarin as the substrate. Reactions were terminated by adding
methanol. The mixtures were centrifuged and the supernatants were
evaporated. The residues were reconstituted in mobile phase (85% ACN; 15%
H2O) and subjected to LC/MS analysis.
This work was supported in part by NIEHS R01 ES002710 and
NIH R01 HL 107887 (MEN). Preliminary structural work was per-
formed at the Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices
(Baton Rouge), funded in part by the Louisiana Governors’ Biotech-
nology Initiative. The work includes research conducted at the
Advanced Photon Source on the Northeastern Collaborative Access
Team beamlines, which are supported by grants from the National
Center for Research Resources (5P41RR015301-10) and the Na-
tional Institute of General Medical Sciences (8 P41 GM103403-
10) from the National Institutes of Health. Use of the Advanced
Photon Source, an Office of Science User Facility operated for the
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science by Argonne Na-
tional Laboratory, was supported by the U.S. DOE under Contract
No. DE-AC02-06CH11357. We thank Dr. David Neau for assistance
