Provided is a highly potent and selective endocannabioid cellular reuptake inhibitor represented by formula (I):
or a pharmaceutically acceptable solvate or co-crystal thereof as well as to a formulation comprising this inhibitor, and to methods of treatment in which this inhibitor is used.
the sub‐100 nM range, with high selectivity over inhibition of the endocannabinoid‐degrading enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase; two compounds were virtually equipotent with 1. Interestingly, profound activity differences were observed between analogues in which either of the two methoxy substituents in the head group had been replaced by the same bulkier alkoxy group. Some of the compounds described here
