Abstract:
This study reports on a preliminary structure-activity relationship exploration of 4-aryliden-2-methyloxazol-5(4H)-one-based compounds as MAGL/FAAH inhibitors. Our results highlight that this scaffold may serve for the development of selective MAGL inhibitors. A 69-fold selectivity against MAGL over FAAH was achieved for compound 16b (MAGL and FAAH IC(50) = 1.6 and 111 µM, respectively). Furthermore, the best compound behaved as a reversible ligand and showed promising antiproliferative activity in cancer cells.
