URB602 ([1,1'-biphenyl]-3-yl-carbamic acid, cyclohexyl ester) is a compound that has been found to inhibit hydrolysis of monoacyl glycerol compounds, such as 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and 2-oleoylglycerol (2-OG). It was first described in 2003.[1] A study performed in 2005 found that the compound had specificity for metabolizing 2-AG over anandamide (another cannabinoid ligand) in rat brain presumably by inhibiting the enzyme monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL), which is the primary metabolic enzyme of 2-AG.[2] However, subsequent studies have shown that URB602 lacks specificity for MAGL inhibition in vitro.[3]
In Vivo URB602 at doses of 20 and 40 mg/kg tends to reduce upper GI transit and slow colonic propulsion. When taken together as whole gut transit, URB602 dose dependently inhibits transit (P<0.05) compared with the vehicle control group. The inhibitory action of 40 mg/kg URB602 on whole gut transit is absent in these mice, indicating CB1 receptor involvement in the inhibitory action. URB602 decreases the AUC of pain behaviour during the early phase of the formalin test with an ED50 of 0.06±0.028 μg for JZL184 and 120±51.3 μg for URB602 in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats. Both MGL inhibitors also suppresses pain behaviour during the late phase of formalin pain, with an ED50 of 0.03±0.011 μg for JZL184 and 66±23.9 μg for URB602.[4]
