Distinct from previously reported urea and amide inhibitors of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH), a novel class of inhibitors were rationally designed based on the X-ray structure of this enzyme and known amide inhibitors. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) study was focused on improving the sEH inhibitory activity. Aminobenzisoxazoles emerged to be the optimal series, of which a potent human sEH inhibitor 7t was identified with a good pharmacokinetics (PK) profile. The strategy of employing aminoheterocycles as amide replacements may represent a general approach to develop mimics of known hydrolase or protease inhibitors containing an amide moiety.
