| Bioactivity | PF-3845 is a potent, selective, irreversible and orally active inhibitor of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), with a Ki of 0.23 µM. PF-3845 is a covalent inhibitor that carbamylates FAAH's serine nucleophile. PF-3845 can reduce pain sensation, inflammation, and anxiety/depression without substantial effects on motility or cognition[1][3]. | ||||||||||||
| Target | Ki: 0.23 µM (FAAH) | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | PF-3845 (0.5 nM-10 μM; 40 min) inhibits human FAAH-1 (IC50=18 nM) in a concentration-dependent manner, and shows negligible activity against FAAH-2 (IC50>10 μM) in COS-7 cells[1].PF-3845 (0.1-1000 μM; 48 h) significantly decreases the Colo-205 cell viability[2]. | ||||||||||||
| In Vivo | PF-3845 (1-30 mg/kg; p.o.) produces cannabinoid receptor-dependent reductions in inflammatory pain in rat[1].PF-3845 (10 mg/kg; a single i.p.) selectively inhibits FAAH in mice for up to 24 hours[1].PF-3845 (10 mg/kg; a single i.p.) causes a dramatic and sustained elevation in Anandamide (AEA) in mice[1].
