Abstract
MAGL is an important key enzyme responsible for various factors in the human body and the
development of disorders like pain, inflammation, CNS disorders and cancer. MAGL has an important
function in the endocannabinoid system and is responsible for of hydrolysis one of the
endocannabinoids, 2-arachidononoylglycerol lipase. 2-arachidonoylglycerol lipase has an agonist
action for G-protein coupled receptors CB1 and CB2. MAGL also causes the incline in the
concentration of specific lipids like lysophosphatidic acid, phosphatidic acid, prostaglandin E2 and
sphingosine-1-phosphate derived from free fatty acids which play important role in the proliferation
of cells, survival, migration, metastases, and development. In the current work, we are presenting
the docking-based screening studies of various designed MAGL inhibitors by studying the different
essential features of previously developed different potent inhibitors of enzyme monoacylglycerol
lipase
