URB937 is an orally active, peripherally restricted, selective inhibitor of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) with an IC50 of 26.8nM[1]. FAAH is a membrane-bound serine hydrolase that degrades endocannabinoids such as anandamide and terminate their signal transduction[2]. URB937 regulates the endogenous cannabinoid system by selectively inhibiting peripheral FAAH activity, exerting analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects without affecting central FAAH levels[3]. URB937 is usually used in the study of neurological diseases and inflammation/immunology[4].
In vitro, URB937(0-50µM; 72h) reduced 4T1 breast cancer cells viability but did not affect non-tumor HEK293 cells viability with an EC50 of 16.7μM[5].
In vivo, URB937 (1mg/kg; i.v.) reversed the prostaglandin E2-induced bladder overactivity, increased bladder compliance, and abolished the facilitated C-fiber afferent activity in female Sprague-Dawley rats[6]. URB937 (1mg/kg; i.p.; every other day for 25 days) prevented the development of mechanical allodynia and attenuated the upregulation of pain neuropeptide CGRP and pro-inflammatory cytokines in the medulla, cervical spinal cord, and trigeminal ganglion in a rat model of trigeminal neuralgia[7].

URB937是口服有效的、外周限制性的脂肪酸酰胺水解酶(FAAH)特异性抑制剂,IC50为26.8nM[1]。FAAH是一种膜结合丝氨酸水解酶,可降解内源性大麻素,如anandamide,并终止其信号传导[2]。URB937通过选择性抑制外周FAAH活性调节内源性大麻素系统,发挥镇痛和抗炎作用,且不影响中枢FAAH水平[3]。URB937通常用于神经系统疾病和炎症/免疫学研究[4]。
体外实验中,URB937(0-50µM;72小时)降低了4T1乳腺癌细胞的活性,但对非肿瘤HEK293细胞的活性没有影响,其EC50为16.7µM[5]。
体内实验中,URB937(1mg/kg;静脉注射)逆转了前列腺素E2诱导的大鼠膀胱过度活动,增加了膀胱顺应性,并消除了C纤维传入活动的增强[6]。URB937(1mg/kg;腹腔注射;两天一次,共25天)预防了三叉神经痛大鼠模型中机械性痛觉过敏的发展,并减弱了延髓、颈脊髓和三叉神经节中疼痛神经肽CGRP和促炎细胞因子的上调[7]。
| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | 4T1 breast cancer cells and HEK293 cells |
Preparation Method | 4T1 mouse breast cancer cells were maintained in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin-streptomycin. HEK293 cells were maintained in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin-streptomycin. All the cells were kept in a 37°C incubator equipped with 5% CO2. Cells grown on 96 well plates seeded at a density of 3000 cells/well were treated with or without URB937 (0-50μM) and incubated for 72h. Cell viability was measured through the MTT assay. |
Reaction Conditions | 0-50µM; 72h |
Applications | URB937 reduced 4T1 breast cancer cells viability but did not affect non-tumor HEK293 cells viability with an EC50 of 16.7μM. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | male Sprague-Dawley rats |
Preparation Method | A total of 42 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (weight 200-250g at arrival) were used. Animals were housed in plastic boxes in groups of two with water and food available ad libitum and kept on a 12:12h light–dark cycle. Animals were habituated to the housing conditions for 1 week before the experimental testing, then subjected to chronic constriction injury surgery of the infraorbital nerve (IoN-CCI). To evaluate the effect of URB937 in preventing the development of trigeminal mechanical allodynia, the IoN-CCI animals were subjected to sub-chronic treatment with URB937 or vehicle. Specifically, the rats were treated with URB937 (1mg/kg; i.p.) or vehicle on day +1 after surgery and then every other day until day +25. URB937 was dissolved freshly on treatment days in 10% polyethylene glycol 200, 10% Tween 80, and saline. The animals were tested with Mechanical Stimulation Test (MST) the day before surgery (for baseline measurement) and on days +4, +12, +18, and +26 after surgery. On day +26, at the end of MST, the rats were sacrificed, and samples were collected for RT-PCR analysis. |
Dosage form | 1mg/kg; i.p.; every other day for 25 days |
Applications | URB937 prevented the development of mechanical allodynia and attenuated the upregulation of pain neuropeptide CGRP and pro-inflammatory cytokines in the medulla, cervical spinal cord, and trigeminal ganglion in a rat model of trigeminal neuralgia. |
