Two sets of novel analogues of the recently disclosed alpha -keto heterocycle inhibitors of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), the enzyme responsible for regulation of endogenous oleamide and anandamide, were synthesized and evaluated in order to clarify a role of the electrophilic carbonyl group and structural features important for their activity. Both the electrophilic carbonyl and the degree of alpha -substitution markedly affect inhibitor potency. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
