Fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) degrades neuromodulating fatty acid amides including anandamide (endogenous cannabinoid agonist) and oleamide (sleep-inducing lipid) at their sites of action and is intimately involved in their regulation. Herein we report the discovery of a potent, selective, and efficacious class of reversible FAAH inhibitors that produce analgesia in animal models validating a new therapeutic target for pain intervention. Key to the useful inhibitor discovery was the routine implementation of a proteomics-wide selectivity screen against the serine hydrolase superfamily ensuring selectivity for FAAH coupled with systematic in vivo examinations of candidate inhibitors.

Compounds of the formulae STR1 wherein n=6-11, M is hydrogen or a pharmaceutically acceptable cation, R is hydrogen or C1 -C6 alkyl optionally substituted by a carboxyl group and Xa, Xb and Xc each independently represent hydrogen or a variety of substituent groups are potent inhibitors of 5-lipoxygenase.
