N-(8Z-Heptadecen-1-yl)-O-(3-pyridylmethyl)carbamate is a synthetic analog of the long-chain fatty acid amides (macamides or macaenes) isolated from the maca (L. meyenii) plant, which are structurally related to cannabinoids. Nineteen macamides have currently been identified and many are recognized as potent inhibitors of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) and demonstrate selective antiproliferative activity against diverse cancer cell lines. N-(8Z-Heptadecen-1-yl)-O-(3-pyridylmethyl)carbamate irreversibly inhibits FAAH with an IC₅₀ value of 0.153 μM.

FAAH inhibitor 2 (Compound 17b) is an irreversible fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) inhibitor, with an IC50 of 0.153 μM[1].
