The present invention provides compounds of formula I and pharmaceutical compositions for inhibiting fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH). Inhibition of FAAH is contemplated as a method to sustain the levels of the fatty acid ethanolamides arachidonoylethanolamide (AEA), palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), and oleoylethanolamide (OEA), three substrates of FAAH, in conditions characterized byreduced concentrations of AEA, PEA and OEA. The invention also provides methods for treating disorders in which decreased levels of AEA, PEA and OEA are associated with the disorder.
