Background
URB597, also known as KDS-4103, is a potent and selective inhibitor of fatty-acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), an enzyme catalyzing the intracellular hydrolysis of the endocannabinoid anandamide, with values of 50% inhibition concentration IC50 of 5 nM and 3 nM in rat brain membranes and human liver microsomes respectively. Study results have shown that, through intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration, URB597 potently inhibits FAAH in rat brain with a median inhibitory dose ID50 of 0.15 mh/kg. However, URB597 fails to show significant inhibition against a few other cannabinoid-related targets (such as cannabinoid receptors and anandamide transport) as well as a broad range of receptors, ion channels, transporters and enymes.
