DO34 is a brain-penetrant, selective and highly potent diacylglycerol lipase inhibitor (recom human DAGLα/β pIC₅₀ = 8.2/8.1 by SAG hydrolysis; mouse brain DAGLα/β pIC₅₀ = 9.1-9.3/8.6 by ABPP ReDiMe) with detectable off-target activity toward only ABHD6 & PLA2G7 among all mouse brain serine hydrolases and little affinity toward cannabinoid receptors CB1/2. DO34 blocks depolarization-induced suppression of excitation (DSE IC₅₀ = 0.18 µM) and inhibition (100% DSI blockage at 1 µM) in mouse cerebellar and hippocampal slices ex vivo, and attenuate LPS-induced neuroinflammatory responses by lowering brain 2-AG & PGE2 level in mice in vivo (50 mg/kg, i.p).
