ABSTRACT
We describe here our attempts to optimise the human fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) inhibition and physicochemical properties of our previously reported tetrasubstituted azetidine urea FAAH inhibitor, VER-156084. We describe the SAR of a series of analogues and conclude with the demonstration of in vivo dose-dependant FAAH inhibition in an anandamide-loading study in rats.
