Abstract
Certain tetracyclic compounds are described, which may be used in pharmaceutical compositions and methods for treating disease states, disorders, and conditions mediated by fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) activity. Thus, the compounds may be administered to treat, e.g., anxiety, pain, inflammation, sleep disorders, eating disorders, or movement disorders (such as multiple sclerosis).

- —N(Rc)C(O)Rd;
- —N(Rc)SO2Rd;
- —SO2N(Rc)Rd;
- —S(O)0-2Rf;
- or —CH2N(Rg)Rh;
- where Rc and Rd are each independently —H, —C1-6alkyl, or —C3-6cycloalkyl;
- Rf is —C1-4alkyl optionally substituted with one, two, or three fluoro substituents;
- and
- Rg and Rh are each independently H or C1-4alkyl;
- or Rg and Rh taken together with the nitrogen to which they are attached form a monocyclic saturated heterocycloalkyl group;
- X is —CH2—, —O—, —S—, —S(O)—, —S(O)2—, —N(Ri)—, or —CH(OH)—;
- and
- Y is absent or is —CH2—, —O—, —S—, —S(O)—, —S(O)2—, —NRi—, —CH2O—, or —OCH2—;
- wherein Ri is —H or —C1-6alkyl;
- and provided that when Y is absent, a single bond is present between the two phenyl rings of formula I;
- a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of Formula (I), a pharmaceutically acceptable prodrug of a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically active metabolite of a compound of Formula (I).
