FAAH enzyme

The 2-benzoylbenzoxazole derivatives were known for their significant biological activities such as antiproliferative activity, inhibition of FAAH enzyme (fatty acid amide hydrolase). In this study, we report a simple and efficient method for the synthesis of such compounds by the direct reaction of o-aminophenol with acetophenone catalyzed by sulfur in DMSO.

Cannabinoid receptors and their endogenous ligands, the endocannabinoids, have been detected in several blood immune cells, including monocytes/macrophages, basophils and lymphocytes. However, their presence in dendritic cells, which play a key role in the initiation and development of the immune response, has never been investigated.

We have shown recently that in human T lymphocytes, leptin stimulates activity and expression of the endocan-nabinoid-degrading enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), through STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) and its CRE (cAMP response element)-like transcriptional target in the FAAH promoter [Maccar-rone, M., Di Rienzo, M., Finazzi-Agro`,A., &Rossi,A. (2003) J. Biol. Chem. 278, 13318–13324]. We have also shown that progesterone, alone or additively with leptin, up-regulates theFAAHgene in human T-cells, through the Ikaros transcription factor [Maccarrone, M.
