ABSTRACT
Obesity is a risk factor associated with several lifestyle-related diseases, for example, diabetes, high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia and cancer. Caffeic acid 2-phenylethyl ester (CAPE, 1), a naturally-occurring compound found in various plants and propolis, which exhibits anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and cytotoxic activities and inhibits 3T3-L1 differentiation to adipocytes. As part of our efforts to moderate lifestyle-related diseases, we synthesized analogs of 1 and studied their effects on pancreatic lipase activities, lipid absorption, and 3T3-L1 differentiation. We found that catechols 1-4 show inhibitory activities against pancreatic lipase in a dose-dependent manner in vitro. Compounds 1-3 proved to be more potent inhibitors of pancreatic lipase than 5, 6, 8, and 9, which have one hydroxyl group, respectively. Compound 7 has three aromatic hydroxyl groups and restrains greater lipase inhibitory activity than the other compounds. In addition, 7 and 3 significantly suppress a rise in blood triglyceride (TG) levels in mice given corn oil orally. Furthermore, 2 and 3 are more potent at preventing 3T3-L1 differentiation (lipid accumulation) than 1, while 7 is more potent than 3, 8, and 9 in these assays. Compounds 2, 3, and 7 inhibit lipid absorption and accumulation, with new compound 7 being the most potent. These results indicate that 7 may have potential benefits as a health agent with anti-obesity properties.
