We report herein the identification of MK-4409, a potent and selective fatty acid
amide hydrolase (FAAH) inhibitor. Starting from a high throughput screening (HTS)
hit, medicinal chemistry efforts focused on optimizing of FAAH inhibition in
vitro potency, improving the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile, and increasing in vivo
efficacy in rodent inflammatory and neuropathic pain assays.
