What is Orlistat?
Orlistat is an irreversible pancreatic lipase inhibitor — covalently binds the serine active site of gastric and pancreatic lipases, blocking dietary triglyceride hydrolysis and fat absorption (~30% reduction). Research tool for lipase enzymology, fat malabsorption models, and intestinal lipid metabolism research. Research use only.
