Brain-penetrant, selective and highly potent diacylglycerol lipase (DAGLα/β, DAGLalpha & DAGLbeta) inhibitor in vitro and in vivo.
DO34 is a brain-penetrant, selective and highly potent diacylglycerol lipase inhibitor (recom human DAGLα/β pIC50 = 8.2/8.1 by SAG hydrolysis; mouse brain DAGLα/β pIC50 = 9.1-9.3/8.6 by ABPP ReDiMe) with detectable off-target activity toward only ABHD6 & PLA2G7 among all mouse brain serine hydrolases and little affinity toward cannabinoid receptors CB1/2. DO34 blocks depolarization-induced suppression of excitation (DSE IC50 = 0.18 μM) and inhibition (100% DSI blockage at 1 μM) in mouse cerebellar and hippocampal slices ex vivo, and attenuate LPS-induced neuroinflammatory responses by lowering brain 2-AG & PGE2 level in mice in vivo (50 mg/kg, i.p).
Individuals with alcohol use disorder exhibit compulsive habitual behaviors that are thought to be, in part, a consequence of chronic and persistent use of alcohol. The endocannabinoid system plays a critical role in habit learning and in ethanol self-administration, but
Clinical reports suggest that rather than directly driving cocaine use, stress may create a biological context within which other triggers for drug use become more potent. We hypothesize that stress-induced increases in corticosterone "set the stage" for relapse by promoting

Triazole ureas constitute a versatile class of irreversible inhibitors that target serine hydrolases in both cells and animal models. We have previously reported that triazole ureas can act as selective and CNS-active inhibitors for diacylglycerol lipases (DAGLs), enzymes responsible for
The endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) mediates retrograde synaptic depression including depolarization-induced suppression of excitation (DSE) and inhibition (DSI). 2-AG is degraded primarily by monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL), which is expressed in neurons and astrocytes. Using knockout mice in which MAGL is deleted

Diacylglycerol lipase (DAGL) α and β, the major biosynthetic enzymes of the endogenous cannabinoid (endocannabinoid) 2-arachidonylglycerol (2-AG), are highly expressed in the nervous system and immune system, respectively. Genetic deletion or pharmacological inhibition of DAGL-β protects against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory
