93 results about "Lipase inhibitors" patented technology

Lipase inhibitors are substances used to reduce the activity of lipases found in the intestine. Lipases are secreted by the pancreas when fat is present. The primary role of lipase inhibitors is to decrease the gastrointestinal absorption of fats. Fats then tend to be excreted in feces rather than being absorbed to be used as a source of caloric energy, and this can result in weight loss in individuals. These inhibitors could be used for the treatment of obesity, which can subsequently lead to Type II diabetes and cardiovascular diseases if not managed. An example of a lipase inhibitor is orlistat.

Method for screening lipase inhibitor

The invention relates to a method for screening a lipase inhibitor and particularly relates to a method for screening a lipase inhibitor by using a thin-layer chromatography bioautography. The method comprises the following steps of: dissolving a sample to be tested into water and / or an organic solvent, dispensing liquid of the sample to be tested on a thin-layer plate, placing the plate in a developing agent for developing, taking out the plate, and airing the plate for later use; and dipping the obtained thin-layer plate into substrate liquid, dipping the thin-layer plate into lipase liquid after completing solvent evaporation, taking out the thin-layer plate and subjecting the thin-layer plate to an enzymatic reaction at the temperature of 20-40 DEG C, and dipping the thin-layer plate into developing agent liquid for color reaction after completing the enzymatic reaction, thereby obtaining a white and / or brown-yellow spotted result diagram with a purple background. The method for screening the lipase inhibitor has the advantages that complicated instruments and devices are not required, the operation is simple, and the testing cost is low, so that the method is suitable for general laboratories; and the sensitivity and specificity are higher than those of conventional screening methods, and screened results are visual and easily recognized and remembered.

Use of non-digestible polymeric foams to sequester ingested materials thereby inhibiting their absorption by the body

This disclosure relates to compositions comprising an open-celled polymeric foam wherein the compositions are useful for sequestering lipophilic materials present in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby inhibiting the absorption of such lipophilic materials by the body. The disclosure further relates to compositions comprising the open-celled polymeric foam wherein the compositions are useful for ameliorating side effects associated with the use of lipase inhibitors. In a preferred embodiment, this disclosure relates to compositions comprising polymeric foam materials made from high internal phase emulsions, where such foams are useful for sequestering lipophilic materials. Further disclosed are compositions comprising open-celled polymeric foams wherein the compositions are useful for the purpose of sequestering aqueous and / or hydrophilic materials present in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby ameliorating diarrhea. Kits comprising the compositions and methods of using the compositions and kits are also described.
