Description

General description

A cell-permeable hexanoate ester compound that acts as a potent, selective, non-competitive, and reversible inhibitor of monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL, K_i = 400 nM, IC₅₀ = 240 nM for hydrolysis of 2- arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG). Displays good selectivity over a broad panel of related enzymes and does not bind to CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors (Ki >10 µM). Shown to inhibit mouse brain MAGL (IC₅₀ = 180 nM), but does not affect the activity of fatty acid amide hydrolaase (FAAH; IC₅₀ = 59 µM) in any significant manner. Improves the course of experimental autoimmune encephalitis (EAE) murine model of multiple sclerosis (5 mg/kg/day, i.p. for 21 days) without inducing any undesirable CB1-agonist-like activity.
