We herein describe the systematic approach used to develop new analogues of compound 2, recently identified as a potent and selective fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) inhibitor. Aiming at identifying new scaffolds endowed with improved drug disposition properties with respect to the phenylpyrrole-based lead, we subjected it to two different structural modification strategies. This process allowed the identification of derivatives 4b and 5c as potent, reversible and non-competitive FAAH inhibitors. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
