Fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) is a promising target for the development of drugs to treat pain, inflammation, and other central nervous system disorders. Herein, a series of novel heterocyclic carbohydrazide derivatives were firstly designed by the classic scaffold-hopping strategy. Then, multi-steps synthesis and human FAAH enzyme inhibiting activity assays were conducted. Among them, compound 26 showedstrong inhibition against human FAAH with IC50 of 2.8 μM. Corresponding docking studies revealed that the acyl hydrazide group of compound 26 well-occupied the acyl-chain binding pocket. It also exhibited high selectivity towards FAAH when comparing with CES2 and MAGL. Additionally, compound 26 effectively suppressed the LPS-induced neuroinflammation of microglial cells (BV2) via the reduction of interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α. Our results provided significative lead compounds for the further discovery of novel selective and safe FAAH inhibitors with potent anti-neuroinflammation activity.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008070 Lipopolysaccharides Lipid-containing polysaccharides which are endotoxins and important group-specific antigens. They are often derived from the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria and induce immunoglobulin secretion. The lipopolysaccharide molecule consists of three parts: LIPID A, core polysaccharide, and O-specific chains (O ANTIGENS). When derived from Escherichia coli, lipopolysaccharides serve as polyclonal B-cell mitogens commonly used in laboratory immunology. (From Dorland, 28th ed) Lipopolysaccharide,Lipoglycans

D014409 Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha Serum glycoprotein produced by activated MACROPHAGES and other mammalian MONONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES. It has necrotizing activity against tumor cell lines and increases ability to reject tumor transplants. Also known as TNF-alpha, it is only 30% homologous to TNF-beta (LYMPHOTOXIN), but they share TNF RECEPTORS.

D015195 Drug Design The molecular designing of drugs for specific purposes (such as DNA-binding, enzyme inhibition, anti-cancer efficacy, etc.) based on knowledge of molecular properties such as activity of functional groups, molecular geometry, and electronic structure, and also on information cataloged on analogous molecules. Drug design is generally computer-assisted molecular modeling and does not include PHARMACOKINETICS, dosage analysis, or drug administration analysis.

D017628 Microglia The third type of glial cell, along with astrocytes and oligodendrocytes (which together form the macroglia). Microglia vary in appearance depending on developmental stage, functional state, and anatomical location; subtype terms include ramified, perivascular, ameboid, resting, and activated. Microglia clearly are capable of phagocytosis and play an important role in a wide spectrum of neuropathologies. They have also been suggested to act in several other roles including in secretion (e.g., of cytokines and neural growth factors), in immunological processing (e.g., antigen presentation), and in central nervous system development and remodeling.
