Used primarily in pharmaceutical research as a potent and selective inhibitor of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH), this compound plays a key role in modulating biological pathways related to inflammation, pain, and cardiovascular function. Its ability to stabilize epoxy fatty acids by inhibiting their breakdown makes it valuable in preclinical studies for conditions such as hypertension, neuropathic pain, and inflammatory diseases. It is also employed as a chemical probe to study sEH enzyme activity and related metabolic pathways in cellular and animal models. Due to its favorable pharmacokinetic profile in experimental settings, it serves as a lead compound in the development of new therapeutic agents targeting metabolic and inflammatory disorders.
