Lipase inhibitors can be found naturally in plants and can also be produced as pharmaceutical drugs.Some lipase inhibitors have been identified in Panax ginseng. [5] [6] Some active compounds with chalcone scaffold found in Glycyrrhiza glabra, Cassia mimosoides, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Boesenbergia rotunda, apples and Morus alba also had strong effect against lipase.
Pancreatic lipase inhibitor was originally discovered and isolated from fermented broth of the Streptomyces toxytricini bacterium in 1981 and named lipstatin. [7] It is a selective and potent irreversible inhibitor of human gastric and pancreatic lipases.
Orlistat is a lipase inhibitor, which means it reduces the amount of fat your body absorbs from the food you consume. Coupled with exercise and a reduced-calorie diet, it can help with weight loss.
It inhibits lipase, an enzyme in the intestine that breaks down fat molecules. This leads to reduced calorie absorption from fat intake. Xenical is the prescription-strength version, while Alli is ...
Orlistat is the saturated derivative of lipstatin, a potent natural inhibitor of pancreatic lipases isolated from the bacterium Streptomyces toxytricini. [9] However, due to its relative simplicity and stability, orlistat was chosen over lipstatin for development as an anti-obesity drug. [10]

Finasteride and similar medications like dutasteride are 5-alpha reductase inhibitor medications. These medications block an enzyme from working, which prevents the conversion of testosterone into ...
In biochemistry, lipase (/ ˈ l aɪ p eɪ s, ˈ l aɪ p eɪ z / LY-payss, LY-payz) refers to a class of enzymes that catalyzes the hydrolysis of fats. Some lipases display broad substrate scope including esters of cholesterol , phospholipids , and of lipid-soluble vitamins [ 1 ] [ 2 ] and sphingomyelinases ; [ 3 ] however, these are usually ...
