Application Notes
Lipstatin is a potent irreversible inhibitor of pancreatic lipase, produced by Streptomyces toxytricini and first reported 
in 1987. In vivo, lipstatin acts to block the absorption of triglycerides while allowing fatty acid absorption. The 
tetrahydro analogue of lipstatin, orlistat, although less potent, was developed for the treatment of obesity.
