Abstract
The soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) has recently emerged as a promising target for the treatment of several pain-related conditions. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of a peripherally restricted sEH inhibitor with high potency and good Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics (DMPK) properties. Molecular dynamics and X-ray crystallography helped reveal the binding of these inhibitors to sEH. The selected compound showed a robust analgesic effect in a dose-dependent manner in a murine model of chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain (CINP). Moreover, the compound also prevented the development of paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain. Overall, these results suggest that peripheral inhibition of sEH might constitute a novel therapy to prevent and treat CINP.
