Abstract

The cysteine hydrolase, N-acylethanolamine acid amidase (NAAA) is a promising target for analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs. Here, we describe the development of two unprecedented NAAA-reactive activity-based probes as research tools for application in the discovery of new inhibitors and for the in-depth characterization of NAAA in its cellular environment.
