Compounds are disclosed that are effective in inhibition of fatty acid amide hydrolase, an enzyme responsible for catabolism of endogenous cannabinoids such as anandamide. The compounds are useful as analgesic compounds and as sleep-inducing compounds, that can be orally administered, and that can have a relatively long duration of effect. Methods of preparation of the compounds are also provided. The compounds are conformationally constrained analogs of heterocyclylketones such as oxazolylketones.
