The present invention is directed to compounds and compositions for the treatment of neurological diseases that cause neurogenic and neuropathic pain, inflammatory diseases, renal ishaemia, cardiovascular disease and other pathologies caused by the presence of endogenous cannabinoids and or other substrates resulting from the metabolic activities of fatty acid amido hydrolase (FAAH). These compounds are represented by the formula wherein A is selected from the group comprising X, Y or Z, and; X represents a methylene group optionally substituted by one or two C<SUB>1-6</SUB>-alkyl, C<SUB>3-7</SUB>-cycloalkyl or C<SUB>3-7</SUB>-cycloalkyl-C<SUB>1-3</SUB>-alkylene groups; Y represents either a C<SUB>2</SUB>-alkenylene group optionally substituted by one or two C<SUB>1-6</SUB>-alkyl, C<SUB>3-7</SUB>-cycloalkyl or C<SUB>3-7</SUB>-cycloalkyl-C<SUB>1-3</SUB>-alkylene groups; or a C<SUB>2</SUB>-alkynylene group; Z represents a group of formula: m represents an integer ranging from 1 to 5; p and q represent integers and are defined such that p+q is a number ranging from 1 to 5; n represents an integer ranging from 1 to 7; R<SUB>1 </SUB>represents an R<SUB>2 </SUB>group optionally substituted by one or more R<SUB>3 </SUB>and/or R<SUB>4 </SUB>groups; R<SUB>2 </SUB>represents a group chosen from a pyridyl, pyrimidinyl, pyridazinyl, pyrazinyl, triazinyl, pyrrolyl, furyl, thienyl, imidazolyl, oxazolyl, thiazolyl, pyrazolyl, isoxazolyl, isothiazolyl, oxadiazolyl, thiadiazolyl, triazolyl, tetrazolyl, naphthyl, quinolinyl, tetrahydroquinolinyl, isoquinolinyl, tetrahydroisoquinolinyl, 2-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinolinyl, 1-oxo-3,4-dihydroisoquinolinyl, quinazolinyl, quinoxalinyl, phthalazinyl, cinnolinyl, naphthyridinyl, benzofuranyl, dihydrobenzofuranyl, benzothienyl, dihydrobenzothienyl, indolyl, indolinyl, indazolyl, isoinR<SUB>5</SUB>R<SUB>6</SUB>, -O-(C<SUB>1-3</SUB>-alkylene)-O- or phenyl groups, the phenyl group optionally being substituted by one or more halogen atoms; R<SUB>3 </SUB>represents a group chosen from halogen atoms or cyano, nitro, C<SUB>1-6</SUB>-alkyl, C<SUB>3-7</SUB>-cycloalkyl, C<SUB>1-6</SUB>-alkoxy, hydroxyl, C<SUB>1-6</SUB>-thioalkyl, C<SUB>1-6</SUB>-fluoroalkyl, C<SUB>1-6</SUB>-fluoroalkoxy, C<SUB>1-6</SUB>-fluorothioalkyl, NR<SUB>5</SUB>R<SUB>6</SUB>, NR<SUB>5</SUB>COR<SUB>6</SUB>, NR<SUB>5</SUB>CO<SUB>2</SUB>R<SUB>6</SUB>, NR<SUB>5</SUB>SO<SUB>2</SUB>R<SUB>6</SUB>, COR<SUB>5</SUB>, CO<SUB>2</SUB>R<SUB>5</SUB>, CONR<SUB>5</SUB>R<SUB>6</SUB>, SO<SUB>2</SUB>R<SUB>5</SUB>, SO<SUB>2</SUB>N. R<SUB>4 </SUB>represents a group chosen from phenyl, phenyloxy, benzyloxy, naphthyl, pyridyl, pyrimidinyl, pyridazinyl or pyrazinyl groups; it being possible for the R<SUB>4 </SUB>group or groups to be substituted by one or more R<SUB>3 </SUB>groups which are identical to or different from one another; R<SUB>5 </SUB>and R<SUB>6 </SUB>represent, independently of one another, a hydrogen atom or a C<SUB>1-6</SUB>-alkyl group or form, with the atom or atoms which carry them, a ring chosen from an azetidine, pyrrolidine, piperidine, morpholine, thiomorpholine, azepine or piperazine ring, this ring optionally being substituted by a C<SUB>1-6</SUB>-alkyl or benzyl group; R<SUB>7 </SUB>represents a hydrogen atom or a C<SUB>1-6</SUB>-alkyl group, and R<SUB>8 </SUB>represents a hydrogen atom or a C<SUB>1-6</SUB>-alkyl, C<SUB>3-7</SUB>-cycloalkyl or C<SUB>3-7</SUB>-cycloalkyl-C<SUB>1-3</SUB>-alkylene group; a salt thereof, or a hydrate or a solvate of said compound or said salt.
