Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2006 Oct 1;16(19):5212-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2006.07.009. Epub 2006 Jul 25.

Abstract

A series of conformationally restricted inhibitors of human soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) has been developed. Inhibition potency of the described compounds ranges from 4.2 microM to 1.1 nM against recombinant sEH. N-(1-Acetylpiperidin-4-yl)-N'-(adamant-1-yl) urea (5a) was found to be a potent inhibitor (IC(50) = 7.0 nM) that was also orally bioavailable in canines.
