Abstract
A series of inhibitors of the soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) containing lipophilic groups of natural origin (camphanyl, norcamphanyl, furan-2-yl) were developed. Inhibitory potency ranging from 0.4 nM to 2.16 μM were obtained. While having the same level of inhibitory activity bicyclic ureas are up to 10-fold more soluble than the corresponding ureas containing adamantyl or 4-trifluoromethoxyphenyl substituents. This makes them easier to formulate, more bioavailable and thus more promising as therapeutic sEH inhibitors. Endo/exo-form of compound 2b derived from l-camphor is 14-fold more potent than the corresponding analogue derived from d-camphor (IC50 = 3.7 nM vs. 50.6 nM) indicating enantiomeric preference.
