Selective inhibitor of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH), increasing levels of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), which have vasodilatory, anti-inflammatory, and antifibrotic effects.

2-4 hours in children; prolonged in neonates (up to 30 hours) and hepatic impairment.
Terminal elimination half-life: 12-15 hours (prolonged to 24-30 hours in moderate-to-severe renal impairment, requiring dose adjustment)
Renal excretion of conjugated metabolites (75-80% as glucuronide and sulfate conjugates, <10% as unchanged drug); biliary/fecal elimination accounts for <5%.
Renal: 70% unchanged; biliary/fecal: 20% as metabolites; 10% other
