MK-4409 is a drug which acts as a potent and selective inhibitor of the enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), with an IC50 of 11nM, and both analgesic and antiinflammatory effects in animal studies. It was developed for the treatment of neuropathic pain and has progressed as far as early stage human clinical trials.[1][2]
