Abstract: The present invention relates to soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibitors of formula (I) to processes for their obtention and to their therapeutic indications.

Abstract: N-(2-oxaadamantan-1-yl)ureas of formula I, where R3 is H, C1-C3 alkyl, cyclohexyl or phenyl; R is —[CH2]n—Y; n is 0-15; in —[CH2]n— 0-n/3 of the methylene groups are optionally replaced by non adjacent oxygen atoms; and Y is a 3- or 4-substituted phenyl, a 3- or 4-substituted cyclohexyl, a N-substituted piperidin-4-yl, a N-substituted piperidin-3-yl, a di- or tri-fluorosubstituted phenyl, 4-chloro-3-trifluoromethylphenyl, 3-chloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl, 4-fluoro-3-trifluoromethylphenyl, or 3-fluoro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl; have epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibitory activities similar to those of their N-(adamantan-1-yl)urea analogs. Thus, compounds I are useful as API for the treatment of sEH mediated diseases. Besides, in general, compounds I have higher water solubilities and lower melting points, what make them more promising from the point of view of pharmacokinetics and formulation.
