Application

TPPU has been used as a soluble epoxide hydrolase (SEH) inhibitor to characterize its pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic properties in rodents. It has also been used as a SEH inhibitor to study its effects on 12,13-dihydroxy-9Z-octadecenoic acid (12,13-DiHOME) concentrations in nervous tissues.

Biochem/physiol Actions

TPPU is a potent sEH inhibitor (IC50 = 3.7 nM) that has been shown to have very favorable PK attributes in cynomolgus monkeys. sEH converts epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) to dihydroxyiecosatrienoic acids (DHETs), and sEH inhibitors display anti-inflammatory and anti-atherosclerotic effects.

Epoxides from polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are potent lipid mediators. In vivo stabilization of these epoxides by blockade of the soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) leads to anti-inflammatory, analgesic and normotensive effects. Therefore, sEH inhibitors (sEHi) are a promising new class

High level of corticosterone (CORT) is toxic to neurons and plays an important role in depression-like behavior and chronic stress. Our previous study showed that TPPU, a soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibitor (sEHI), induces an antidepressant effect in animal models.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of late-onset dementia, and there exists an unmet medical need for effective treatments for AD. The accumulation of neurotoxic amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques contributes to the pathophysiology of AD. EPHX2 encoding soluble epoxide hydrolase
