    Abstract:
    Pancreatic lipase (PL) is an enzyme that plays an essential role in the digestion of dietary lipids and is a suitable target for an anti-obesity dietary supplement. The objective of this study was to find a novel source of PL inhibitors from Korean medicinal plants and investigate the PL-inhibitory properties of the active constituents. From among 34 kinds of methanolic crude extracts, Polygonum aviculare L. showed the highest PL-inhibitory activity (63.97 ± 0.05% of inhibition). Solvent fractionation and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) analysis identified flavonol-3-O-glycosides, flavonol-3-O-(2″-galloyl)-glycosides, and flavonol aglycones as active constituents. Furthermore, the inhibitory characteristics of the major compounds were investigated in terms of enzyme kinetics and fluorescence quenching. The results suggested that the inhibitory activity of the major compounds is closely related to the tertiary structural change in PL, and that differences in inhibitory activity occurred due to slight discrepancies in their chemical structure.
