additional information a class of benzoxazolone carboxamides act as the first potent and systemically active inhibitors of the acid ceramidase. Prototype members of this class inhibit the enzyme with low nanomolar potency by covalent binding to the catalytic cysteine. No inhibition by N-methyl-2-oxo-N-(4-phenylbutyl)-1,3-benzoxazole-3(2H)-carboxamide, 4-phenylbutyl 2-oxo-1,3-benzoxazole-3(2H)-carboxylate, and 3-(6-phenylhexanoyl)-1,3-benzoxazol-2(3H)-one, while 2-oxo-N-(4-phenylbutyl)-1,3-benzoxazole-3(2H)-carbothioamide is unstable Homo sapiens
