medicine | there is evidence indicating that enhancing the endocannabinoid (eCB) tone has therapeutic potential in several brain disorders. The inhibition of endocannabinoid degradation by fatty acid amide hydrolase blockade, is the best-known option to increase N-acyl-ethanolamines-mediated signaling. By showing the efficacy of intranasal FAAH inhibition, evidence is provided that nose-to-brain delivery is a suitable alternative to enhance brain endocannabinoid tone for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders and improve patients' compliance | Mus musculus |

PF-04457845 | potently inhibits the enzyme regardless the route selected | Mus musculus | |
URB597 | less effective inhibitor in the brain after oral administration while it reaches similar effects by intranasal (i.n.) and intraperitoneal routes. Intranasal URB597 delivery always increased N-acyl-ethanolamine levels in brain areas, whereas a parallel increase is not observed in the liver. By showing the efficacy of intranasal FAAH inhibition, evidence is provided that nose-to-brain delivery is a suitable alternative to enhance brain endocannabinoid tone for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders and improve compliance of the patients | Mus musculus |
