Pharmacological inhibition of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) activity leads to increased levels of fatty acid amides. Esters of alkylcarbamic acids are disclosed that are inhibitors of FAAH activity. Compounds disclosed herein inhibit FAAH activity. Described herein are processes for the preparation of esters of alkylcarbamic acid compounds, compositions that include them, and methods of use thereof.

Described herein is a method for determining an effective dose of a composition for inhibiting fatty acid amide hydrolase activity in vivo, by first administering to a subject a dose of a test composition, and subsequently assessing if the level of a fatty acid amide in the subject increases. Also described, is a method for optimizing therapeutic efficacy for treatment of anxiety, depression, pain, or a metabolic disorder by increasing or decreasing a dose of a fatty amide hydrolase inhibitor according to a patient's fatty acid amide levels. In addition, pharmaceutical compositions are described, which contain fatty acid amide hydrolase inhibitors effective for increasing a FAA level in a patient.

[FR] La présente invention concerne un procédé de détermination de la dose efficace d'une composition destinée à inhiber une activité amide d'acide gras-hydrolase in vivo, en administrant d'abord à un sujet une dose d'une composition testée et en recherchant ensuite si le taux d'un amide d'acide gras a augmenté chez le sujet. L'invention concerne également un procédé permettant d'optimiser l'efficacité thérapeutique pour le traitement de l'angoisse, de la dépression, de la douleur ou d'une affection métabolique en augmentant ou en diminuant la dose d'un inhibiteur d'amide d'acide gras-hydrolase en fonction des taux d'amides d'acide gras chez le patient. De plus, l'invention concerne des compositions pharmaceutiques qui contiennent des inhibiteurs d'amide d'acide gras-hydrolase efficaces pour augmenter le taux de FAA (Fatty Acid Amide : amide d'acide gras) chez un patient.

potent and selective inhibitors for uncharacterized serinehydrolases and its application to the brain-enriched enzyme α/β-hydrolase-6. We anticipate that the methods described herein will facilitate the development of selective chemical probes to annotate the metabolic and (patho)physiologicalfunctions of many of the uncharacterized serinehydrolases that currently populate eukaryotic and prokaryotic
