Design, synthesis and evaluation of non-urea inhibitors of soluble epoxide hydrolase.
Inhibition of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) has been proposed as a new pharmaceutical approach for treating hypertension and vascular inflammation. The most potent sEH inhibitors reported in literature to date are urea derivatives. However, these compounds have limited pharmacokinetic profiles. We investigated non-urea amide derivatives as sEH inhibitors and identified a potent human sEH inhibitor 14-34 having potency comparable to urea-based inhibitors.

1-(1-acetyl-piperidin-4-yl)-3-adamantan-1-yl-urea (AR9281) as a potent, selective, and orally available soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitor with efficacy in rodent models of hypertension and dysglycemia.
1-(1-Acetyl-piperidin-4-yl)-3-adamantan-1-yl-urea 14a (AR9281), a potent and selective soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitor, was recently tested in a phase 2a clinical setting for its effectiveness in reducing blood pressure and improving insulin resistance in pre-diabetic patients. In a mouse model of diet induced obesity, AR9281 attenuated the enhanced glucose excursion following an intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test. AR9281 also attenuated the increase in blood pressure in angiotensin-II-induced hypertension in rats. These effects were dose-dependent and well correlated with inhibition of the sEH activity in whole blood, consistent with a role of sEH in the observed pharmacology in rodents.
