Compounds and pharmaceutical compositions are contemplated that inhibit N-acyl-ethanolamine-hydrolyzing acid amidase (NAAA) to so increase the concentration of the substrate of NAAA, palmitoylethanolamide (PEA). NAAA inhibition is contemplated to be effective to alleviate conditions associated with a reduced concentration of PEA. Among other uses, various NAAA inhibitors are especially contemplated as therapeutic agents in the treatment of inflammatory diseases.
本发明涉及抑制N-酰基-
乙醇胺
水解酸酰胺酶(NAAA)的化合物和制药组合物,以增加NAAA底物棕榈酰
乙醇胺(
PEA)的浓度。本发明认为NAAA抑制对于缓解与
PEA浓度降低相关的病症是有效的。此外,各种NAAA
抑制剂尤其被认为是治疗炎症性疾病的治疗剂。
