The Cetilistat is an organic compound with the formula C25H39NO3. The IUPAC name of this chemical is 2-hexadecoxy-6-methyl-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one. With the CAS registry number 282526-98-1, it is also named as 4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one, 2-(hexadecyloxy)-6-methyl-. The product's classification code is Treatment of obesity. Besides, it is a drug designed to treat obesity. It acts in the same way as the older drug orlistat by inhibiting pancreatic lipase, an enzyme that breaks down triglycerides in the intestine. Without this enzyme, triglycerides from the diet are prevented from being hydrolyzed into absorbable free fatty acids and are excreted undigested.

Function:

Cetilistat is a drug designed to treat obesity. It acts in the same way as the older drug orlistat(Xenical) by inhibiting pancreatic lipase, an enzyme that breaks down triglycerides in the intestine. Without this enzyme, triglycerides from the diet are prevented from being hydrolyzed into absorbable free fatty acids and are excreted undigested.

Application:

In human trials, cetilistat was shown to produce similar weight loss to orlistat, but also produced similar side effects such as oily, loose stools, fecal incontinence, frequent bowel movements, andflatulence.It is likely that the same precautions would apply in that absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and other fat-soluble nutrients may be inhibited, requiring vitamin supplements to be used to avoid deficiencies
