Used 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 primary application lies in the development of therapies for inflammatory diseases, neuropathic pain, and hypertension. By inhibiting sEH, it increases levels of endogenous epoxy fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory and vasodilatory effects. It is also employed as a reference compound in enzyme activity assays and in studies exploring the pharmacological impact of sEH inhibition in animal models. Due to its blood-brain barrier permeability, it is valuable in central nervous system-related drug discovery.
