Novel Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase Inhibitor: Toward Regulatory Preclinical Studies.

ABSTRACT: Neuroinflammation is widely recognized as a key pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Recently, inhibiting soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for AD. sEH plays a pivotal role in neuroinflammation by hydrolyzing epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), which have anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties, into pro-inflammatory dihydroepoxyeicosatrienoic acids (DHETs). Furthermore, the overexpression of the enzyme in the brains of AD patients and animal models of the disease highlights its relevance as a therapeutic target. Our previous studies, using the inhibitor UB-SCG-51 demonstrated that sEH inhibition regulates neuroinflammation and other mechanisms, such as the unfolded protein response pathway, while reducing autophagy, apopto
