A method prevents or treats diseases associated with high plasma cholesterol levels. In addition, this method reduces plasma cholesterol levels. The method comprises administering a lipase inhibitor, e.g. orlistat, and a pharmaceutically acceptable bile acid sequestrant.

This invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a lipase inhibitor; a lipophilic oil absorbent selected from the group consisting of hydrogenated castor oil, hydrogenated vegetable oil, glyceryl behenate, glyceryl palmitostearate and a mixture thereof; and a pharmaceutically acceptable additive, an oral formulation of a lipase inhibitor prepared there from and a method for preparing said formulation. The formulation of the present invention can minimize side effects such as oily spotting, fatty/oily stool, abdominal distension and flatus, and thus it can be advantageously used for preventing or treating obesity and hyperlipaemia.

The invention provides a pharmaceutical combination product for oral administration comprising a lipase inhibitor and a plurality of ingestible particles, said particles comprising a water-swellable or water-soluble polymeric material and a lipid material. The lipase inhibitor may be provided in the ingestible particles or separate from these. The polymeric material may be embedded in the lipid material. The invention further provides methods for preparing the pharmaceutical combination product and uses thereof.

A lipase inhibitor comprising as an active ingredient an extract of Ascophyllum nodosum which is a kind of brown algae can be used as a useful healthy food or food for specified health uses for the treatment and/or prevention of obesity or hyperlipemia.

The present invention relates to the isolation of and characterisation of a novel lipase inhibitor and its effect on different lipases. The present invention also relates to the use of a lipase inhibitor as a screen for lipases. The present invention also relates to the use of the inhibitor and/or lipases identified by a lipase inhibitor in food and/or feed technologies.

The invention relates to the technical field of medicine, and in particular, relates to a pharmaceutical composition containing orlistat and a plant-derived lipase inhibitor. The plant-derived lipaseinhibitor is a polyphenol lipase inhibitor extracted from tea leaves. The results of in-vitro experiments show that the interaction index of orlistat and the polyphenol lipase inhibitor in inhibitionof the activity of lipase in the molar ratio range of 1:10 to 10:1 is lower than 1, and suggest that orlistat and the polyphenol lipase inhibitor generate synergistic lipase inhibition effect. The results of animal experiments show that the control effect of the composition containing orlistat and the polyphenol lipase inhibitor on the weight of nutritional obesity rats is better than that of an orlistat group and a polyphenol lipase inhibitor single drug-administration group, and generation of the synergistic effect is further verified. In addition, the polyphenol lipase inhibitor can reducethe unpleasant gastrointestinal side effects of orlistat and alleviate adverse reactions of oil spots, fat/oil stools and the like.

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.

The present invention relates to a method for treating obesity, a method for reducing the absorption of dietary fat, and a method for treating hypertriglyceridemia in a patient and to particular polymers for use in the methods or in a manufacture of a medicament. The methods comprise the step of orally administering to a mammal, such as a human, a therapeutically effective amount of one or more fat-binding polymers. The administration of the fat-binding polymer of the invention facilitates the removal of fat from the body prior to digestion, with minimal side effects and low toxicity. In a preferred embodiment, the one or more fat-binding polymers are administered in combination with one or more lipase inhibitors, for example, lipstatin and tetrahydrolipstatin.

The invention provides a preparation method of a microcapsule particle capable of adjusting the body fat percentage. The preparation method comprises the following steps: preparing core powder A; embedding the core powder A by slowly digestible starch emulsion, adding at least one of fibersol-2 and lipase inhibitor into starch embedded particles, evenly mixing to obtain core powder B; preparing capsule wall slurry: adding a proper amount of starch blocker into a mixed solution of sodium alginate and trehalose, evenly mixing to obtain capsule wall slurry; preparing the microcapsule particle: dispersing core powder B into a diluted solution of the capsule wall material to form a suspension liquid, and carrying out spray-drying to obtain the microcapsule particles. The invention also relatesto a preparation containing the microcapsule particle; such as capsule or food. The microcapsule particle is suitable for reducing the body fat percentage of patients of hyperlipidemia and fat peopleand has a good market value and potential for industrial production.

Current invention is related to the pharmaceutical industry in general and to the industry of the manufacture of pharmaceutical products for weight reduction and hyperlipidemia treatment. The advantages of the current invention respect of the similar of the state of the art are that in the present invention side effects normally produced by the consumption of lipase inhibitors are eliminated; optimizing both the lipase inhibitor component and the fat-trapping; with the adequate composition of each one of the components and with very small amounts of each one. The invention consists of a composition for the treatment of the obesity and hyperlipidemia, characterized by comprising in combination a lipase inhibitor and a fat-trapping component.
