Biological Activity

Description Orlistat is a general lipase inhibitor with IC50 of 122 ng/ml for PL from human duodenal juice. Orlistat treatment reduces proliferation, induces apoptosis and arrests cell cycle.
Targets
lipase [1]
(Cell-free assay)		 Fatty acid synthesis [1]
(Cell-free assay)
In vitro
In vitro Orlistat, an inhibitor of lipases and fatty acid synthase, is used orally for long-term treatment of obesity. Orlistat shows antiproliferative activity against cancer cells in vitro. It has been found to augment pro-apoptotic NOXA protein[1].
Cell Research Cell lines Jurkat CD4+ T cell leukemia cell line
Concentrations 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40 μM
Incubation Time 2 days
Method

Leukemic cells were cultured in the presence of graded concentrations of orlistat for two days. Control cultures were exposed to DMSO alone at the concentration corresponding to that utilized for orlistat 40 μM. At the end of the in vitro treatment, leukemic cells were lysed and subjected to western blot (WB) analysis.

In Vivo
In vivo Orlistat, administered by oral route, is minimally absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract and is able to prevent the absorption of a large percentage of lipids, thereby reducing lipid supply from outside sources[1]. Because of its extremely low oral bioavailability, the effects of Orlistat are largely confined to the gastrointestinal tract, where it inactivates pancreatic lipase. Therefore, the formulation and route of delivery would have to be changed to treat tumors of the breast, prostate, and so on. Orlistat halts tumor cell proliferation, induces tumor cell apoptosis, and inhibits the growth of PC-3 tumors in nude mice. A pharmacokinetic analysis of Orlistat (155 mg/kg) administered by i.p. injection showed peak blood levels to be ∼10 μM 2 h after dosing (data not shown). Beyond this time, blood levels of the drug decayed rapidly[2].
