Lipase activity assay

Pancreatic lipase is one of the safest targets of anti-obesity drugs. To date, orlistat is the only pancreatic lipase inhibitor approved for the long-term treatment of obesity. Therefore, there is an elevated need to find new drugs for this disease. Determining the factors affecting the test to evaluate pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity in order to build a standard assay procedure is necessary. This will make it much easier for researchers to find novel compounds that inhibit the enzyme.

In this study, 341 Bacillus sp. strains were isolated from agricultural soils of Turkey. The potent extracellular lipase producer was selected. It was identified by 16S rRNA, named as Bacillus cereus ATA179. Optimal nutritional and physical parameters for lipase production were determined. Sucrose as the carbon source, (NH4 )2 HPO4 as the nitrogen source, CaCl2 as the metal ion were obtained. The best results of physical parameters were stated at 45°C, pH 7.0, shaking rate 50 rpm, inoculation amount 7% and inoculum age 24 h.
