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
脂肪酸酰胺水解酶 (FAAH) 在其作用部位降解神经调节脂肪酸酰胺,包括 anandamide(内源性大麻素激动剂)和油酰胺(睡眠诱导脂质),并密切参与其调节。在这里,我们报告了在动物模型中发现了一种有效的、选择性的和有效的可逆 FAAH 抑制剂,它们可以产生镇痛作用,从而验证了疼痛干预的新治疗靶点。发现有用抑制剂的关键是常规实施针对丝氨酸水解酶超家族的蛋白质组学选择性筛选,确保对 FAAH 的选择性,并结合候选抑制剂的系统体内检查。
