URB 937 is a potent inhibitor of fatty-acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), an intracellular serine hydrolase responsible for the deactivation of the endocannabinoid anandamide. It is actively extruded from the central nervous system (CNS), and therefore increases anandamide levels exclusively in peripheral tissues.
