RESUMO:A prevalência da obesidade está aumentando a um ritmo alarmante e poucos medicamentos para o tratamento estão atualmente disponíveis no mercado. A inibição da lipase pancreática é um dos mecanismos mais amplamente estudados para determinar a eficácia de produtos naturais como agentes antiobesidade. O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar in vitro a inibição de dezenove extratos aquosos e metanólicos sobre a lipase pancreática. Ensaios cinéticos foram realizados em quatro períodos de tempo com ausência e presença do extrato inibidor. Também foi avaliado a ação desses extratos após a simulação do fluido gástrico. Cymbopogon citratus apresentou a maior inibição, seguido de Costus spicatus e Baccharis trimera. Os extratos apresentam um potencial como adjuvante no tratamento da obesidade.

The prevalence of obesity has been increasing at an alarming rate and only a few medications are currently available in the market. Pancreatic lipase inhibition is one of the most widely studied mechanisms for determining the efficacy of natural products as anti-obesity agents. The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro the inhibition of nineteen aqueous and methanol extracts on pancreatic lipase. Kinetic assays were performed in four periods with the absence and the presence of the inhibitor extract. We also tested the action of these extracts after gastric fluid simulation. Cymbopogon citratus showed the highest inhibition, followed by Costus spicatus and Baccharis trimera. The extracts have the potential to act as adjuvants in the treatment of obesity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
