FAAH serves as the major metabolic regulator of many of the endogenous fatty acid <strong>amides<\/strong>, exhibiting a distribution consistent with its role in terminating their effects at the released sites of action. It is the only well characterized mammalian enzyme bearing their unusual <strong>Ser\u2013Ser\u2013Lys<\/strong> catalytic triad.<\/p>\n<p>A remarkable series of potent, selective, and efficacious inhibitors of the enzyme <strong>FAAH <\/strong>have now been disclosed, many of which have been utilized to mechanistically and structurally characterize the enzyme. In this regard, it is interesting to note that around <strong>70 million<\/strong> Americans annually suffer from chronic disorders in <strong>sleep<\/strong>, making sleep second only to pain in the number of patients seeking medical attention.<\/p>\n<p>Several studies summarized in recent reviews have detailed the discovery of <strong>FAAH<\/strong> and defined its <strong>potential<\/strong> to serve as a <strong>new therapeutic target<\/strong> for the treatment of a range of <strong>clinical disorders<\/strong>. The development of inhibitors of FAAH, the enzyme responsible for degradation of endogenous <strong>oleamide<\/strong> and <strong>anandamide<\/strong> and may prove to be useful therapeutic agents for the treatment of sleep disorders and pain.<\/p>\n<p>Since FAAH is recognized as a drug target, a large number of inhibitors have been synthesized and tested since 1994, and these are reviewed in terms of <strong>reversibility<\/strong>, <strong>potency<\/strong>, and <strong>specificity <\/strong>for FAAH and cannabinoid receptors. An innovative clinical opportunity likely will emerge, from better understanding the fundamental physiological role of the signaling fatty acid amides, which FAAH regulates. This area is still incompletely defined.<\/p>\n<p>Inhibitors of FAAH are considered a <strong>potential therapeutic approach,<\/strong> for the <strong>treatment of several nervous system<\/strong> disorders, <strong>including pain<\/strong>, <strong>anxiety<\/strong>, and <strong>insomnia<\/strong>. However, for <strong>FAAH <\/strong>inhibitors to achieve clinical utility, they must not only display efficacy in vivo but also selectivity for this enzyme relative to the numerous other serine hydrolases present in mammalian proteomes.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"featured-image\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/delveinsightblog.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/faah1.jpg?w=263\" alt=\"Featured image\" width=\"360\" height=\"409\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>Figure 1: Mechanism of Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe FAAH Inhibitors &#8211; Pipeline Insights, 2015\u201d report, provides information of <strong>25+ pipeline drugs with 13+ companies <\/strong>actively involved in drug development.
