The present invention relates to compositions and methods for promoting and enhancing the analgesic, anesthetic and anticonvulsant properties of epoxygenated fatty acids, in particular, epoxy-eicosatrienoic acids ("EETs") and inhibitors of soluble epoxide hydrolase ("sEH") in the presence of elevated levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate ("cAMP") by combining or co-administering the epoxygenated fatty acid, EET and/or inhibitor of sEH with an agent that increases intracellular levels of cAMP, e.g., a phosphodiesterase inhibitor. |
