In this study, the α-amylase inhibitory activity, α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity, and Xanthine Oxidase inhibitory activity of the fruiting body extracts of 5 varieties of Agaricus bisporus (AB) were confirmed. First, the α-amylase inhibitory activity of AB12, AB13, AB18, AB34, and AB40 methanol extracts was lower than that of acarbose, a positive control, in all concentration ranges. The α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of the AB40, AB13, and AB12 methanol extracts at the extract concentration of 1.0 mg/mL was 80.5%, 81.3%, and 78.5%, respectively, similar to that of acarbose, a positive control. The pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity of the methanol extract of Agaricus bisporus fruiting body was significantly lower than that of the positive control orlistat in the concentration range of 50~1.000 (mg/mL). The Xanthine Oxidase inhibitory activity was 0.5~8.0 mg/mL of each extract, which was significantly lower than that of the positive control allopurinol in the same concentration range. However, the Xanthine Oxidase inhibitory activity of AB13 and AB40 at 8.0 mg/mL was about 70%, which was higher than that of other mushrooms. In conclusion, five kinds of Agaricus bisporus fruiting bodies seem to have inhibitory effects on enzymes such as α-amylase, α-glucosidase, pancreatic lipase, and Xanthine Oxidase that degrade starch and protein. In particular, it has an inhibitory effect and a reduction effect on xanthine oxidase that causes gout, so it is expected that it can be developed and used as a food or health supplement with health functional properties through future research.

In the process of investigating anti-obesity effect of Platycodi Radix, we found that aqueous extract of Platycodi Radix might inhibit intestinal absorption of dietary fat by inhibiting pancreatic lipase (PL) activity. In order to clarify the anti-obesity mechanism of Platycodi Radix, activity-guided isolation was performed to find active components. The total saponin fraction of Platycodi Radix appeared to have a potent inhibitory activity against the hydrolysis of triolein emulsified with phosphatidycholine by pancreatic lipase in vitro. Based on these results, further purification of active components yielded 10 known triterpenoidal saponins, among these compounds, platycodin A, C, D, and deapioplatycodin D exhibited significant inhibitory effects on PL at the concentration of $500\;{\mu}g/mL$ with 3.3, 5.2, 34.8, and $11.67\%$ pancreatic lipase activity vs control, respectively. Platycodin D was found to inhibit the PL activity in a dose-dependent manner. Therefore, the anti-obesity effect of Platycodi Radix might be due to the inhibition of pancreatic lipase by its saponins.

To develop functional food and anti-obesity drug through inhibition of dietary lipid absorption, inhibitory effects of herb extracts on pancreatic lipase were investigated. Due to high yield and simplicity of isolation, lipase inhibitor (ELI) was isolated from ethyl acetate extract of Eugenia aromaticum, which showed highest inhibitory activity, and characterized for development of novel functional material. Stability of ELI at high temperature and low pH was investigated. Results showed ELI is relatively stable under thermal and acidic conditions, reversible, and noncompetitive inhibitor of pancreatic lipase.

This study was conducted to evaluate the cytotoxicity and ${\alpha}-Amylase$, ${\alpha}-Glucosidase$, pancreatic lipase inhibition in vitro by different solvent fractions from the roots of Codonopsis lanceolata. The values of $IC_{50}$ against Calu-6 cell showed a high effect in n-hexane fraction ($10.13{\mu}g/mL$) whereas DW fraction exhibited the weakest inhibition on cell viability, having an $IC_{50}$ value of over $1,000{\mu}g/mL$. The values of $IC_{50}$ against HCT-116 cell showed the highest activity in n-BuOH fraction ($102.01{\mu}g/mL$), followed by n-hexane fraction ($145.85{\mu}g/mL$), methylene chloride fraction ($332.02{\mu}g/mL$), ethyl acetate fraction ($462.93{\mu}g/mL$) and DW fracion ($>1,000{\mu}g/mL$). ${\alpha}-Amylase$ inhibitory activity in methylene chloride fraction and ethyl acetate fraction was found to have a higher inhibitory effect with 24.5% and 25.6% than the other fractions. The highest ${\alpha}-Glucosidase$ inhibitory activity was observed from the ethyl acetate fraction extract, while the extract of DW fraction showed the lowest level of inhibitory activity at given experiment concentration. The pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity of C. lanceolata was found to have a higher the effect in ethyl acetate fraction. Inhibition of lipase activity of the ethyl acetate fraction and n-hexane fraction showed a relatively high, while the extract of DW fraction showed the lowest level at given experiment concentration. These results suggested that the roots of C. lanceolata may assist in the potential biological activity on carbohydrate, lipid Inhibitory activity and anticancer activity.

Obesity is the most common nutritional disorder in the developed world and has become a global epidemic in recent years. In this study, Zanthoxylum planispinum extracts (ZPE) were evaluated on the effect on inhibition of pancreatic lipase and lipid metabolism by oral treatment for 2 months in high-fed diet obesity-induced Balb/c mice. The ZPE showed pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity with $IC_{50}$ of $0.3{\mu}g/ml$. No significant difference in feed intake was observed among the groups. The high-fat diet-treated Z. planispinum extracts groups (HFD+ZPE, 100mg/kg) significantly decreased body weight compared to the high-fat diet vehicle groups (HFD, p<0.05). The high-fat diet-treated Xenical$^{(R)}$ groups (HFD+Xenical, n=10, 30mg/kg) also showed a significant reduction of body weight compared to HFD (p<0.05). Biochemical parameters (triglyceride, total cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) in HFD plus ZPE diet groups were significantly lower than those of the HFD groups (p<0.05). These results indicated that ZPE more effectively suppressed the effects of HFD on body fat gain with the inhibitory effect on pancreatic lipase.

The possible presence of inhibitors of pancreatic lipase (tricaylglycerol acylhydrolase EC 3.1.1.3) was screened from Korean traditional edible or medicinal herbs. Among tested herbs, Arecae pericarpium, Mucunae Caulis, Rhus javanica, Thujae orientalis were shown to have strong inhibitory effect against pancreatic lipase. Thujae orientalis was finally selected as a candidate for pancreatic lipase inhibitor. The extract of Thujae orientalis was showed selective inhibition on porcine pancreatic lipase activity. Active inhibitors, TF-1, TF-2, TF-3, were purified from an extract of Thujae orientalis, using chloroform extraction, followed by successive chromatography in silica gel and LH-20 and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The $IC_{50}$ values of TF-1, TF-2, TF-3 and orlistat were 44.7, 98.7, 46.1 and $27.6{\mu}g/ml$, respectively. And also the TF-2 and orlistat were shown to be inhibitory effect on the differentiation of preadipocyte NIH-3T3 L1 cells at a concentration of $10{\mu}g/ml$.

Objectives : In this study, the inhibitory activities of Korean Medicine against pancreatic lipase in vitro and biochemical analyses in vivo were measured to determine its possibility as a well-matched sauce material with chicken. Methods : The inhibitory activity on pancreatic lipase enzyme of 11 samples were evaluated in vitro and then 5 samples were selected. The activity of pancreatic lipase was investigated using orlistat as a positive control. Animals were divided into eight groups (n=7). The experimental groups except for normal group were fed 60% high-fat diet for 7 days. 5 samples were orally administered at a dose of 200 mg/kg body weight and orlistat were orally administrated at a dose of 60 mg/kg body weight for 7 days. Biochemical anaylses of 5 samples were executed based on lipid parameters analysis. Results : Korean Medicines with an $IC_{50}$ of below 1 mg/kg were Scutellariae Radix, Gardeniae Fructus, Theae Folium Coptidis Radix, and Mori Cortex Radicis. Body weight change of Mori Cortex Radicis reduced significantly, however fecal triglyceride couldn't regulate effectively. The most excellent inhibitory effect of pancreatic lipase showed in Scutellariae Radix treatment and also regulated significantly serum triglyceride and total cholesterol. Moreover, the supplementation of Coptidis Radix excreted meaningfully triglyceride to fece. Conclusions : In conclusion, Coptidis Radix may exert anti-obesity effect by directly inhibiting pancreatic lipase, which would prevent the absorption of lipid from the small intestine. Besides, Mori Cortex Radicis may led to the decrease of the body weight via the different pathway.

This study was performed to investigate the inhibitory activity of Ecklonia cava (EC) against lipase and the stability of this activity under various heat and pH conditions. As a result, EC ethanol extract showed lipase inhibitory activity of 59, 34 and 19% at concentrations of 5, 2.5 and 1 mg/mL, whereas the water extract showed low inhibitory activity at all concentrations compared to that of the ethanol extracts. In a heat and pH stability test, the inhibitory activity of the EC ethanol extract increased with heat treatment at $121^{\circ}C$ for 15 min compared with the control and was stable in the pH range of 2~10. Therefore, the EC ethanol extract could be useful as a natural anti-obesity agent.
