  • Carbamate derivatives of lactam based N-acylethanolamine acid amidase (NAAA) inhibitors
    Patent number: 9828338
    Abstract: Described herein are compounds and pharmaceutical compositions which inhibit N-acylethanolamine acid amidase (NAAA). Described herein are methods for synthesizing the compounds set forth herein and methods for formulating these compounds as pharmaceutical compositions which include these compounds. Also described herein are methods of inhibiting NAAA in order to sustain the levels of palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) and other N-acylethanolamines (NAE) that are substrates for NAAA, in conditions characterized by reduced concentrations of NAE. Also, described here are methods of treating and ameliorating pain, inflammation, inflammatory diseases, and other disorders in which modulation of fatty acid ethanolamides is clinically or therapeutically relevant or in which decreased levels of NAE are associated with the disorder.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 14, 2015
    Date of Patent: November 28, 2017
    Assignees: The Regents of the University of California, Fondazione Istituto Italiano di Technologia, Universita Degli Studi di Urbino “Carlo Bo”, Universita Degli Studi di Parma

  • DISUBSTITUTED BETA-LACTONES AS INHIBITORS OF N-ACYLETHANOLAMINE ACID AMIDASE (NAAA)
    Publication number: 20160235707
    Abstract: The present invention provides compounds and pharmaceutical compositions for inhibiting N-acylethanolamine acid amidase (NAAA). Inhibition of NAAA is contemplated as a method to sustain the levels of palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) and oleylethanolamide (OEA), two substrates of NAAA, in conditions characterized by reduced concentrations of PEA and OEA. The invention also provides methods for treating inflammatory diseases and pain, and other disorders in which decreased levels of PEA and OEA are associated with the disorder.
    Type: Application
