“…The family of compounds showing the strongest effect were the di-caffeoylquinic acids with 4.8, 6.2, 7.2, 9.4, and 11.4 times higher inhibitory activities on α-amylase than acarbose for cynarin, 1,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid, 3,4-dicaffeoylquinic acid, 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid, and 4,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid, respectively (based on IC 50 values) [ 51 ]. Similarly, significant lipase inhibitory activities have been shown for apigenin, oleanolic acid, anthocyanins, monocaffeoylquinic acids (including chlorogenic acid), dicaffeoylquinic acids (including cynarin), luteolin-7-O-glucoside, luteolin, and Eriodictyol [ 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 ]. The highest lipase inhibitions were obtained using luteolin-7-O-glucoside and eriodictyol, two flavonoids, with more than two times higher inhibitory activities than orlistat for both (based on IC 50 values) [ 68 ].…”
