Lipase Inhibitor, THL (Tetrahydrolipstatin), is a compound that may act to rapidly inactivate lipoprotein lipase (LPL). This agent has been found to bind both subunits of LPL, induce tetramerisation, and cause local conformational changes. The exception to lipase inhibition capacities of Lipase Inhibitor, THL is phospholipase A2, which is not affected by Lipase Inhibitor, THL. Mechanistic studies suggest that Lipase Inhibitor, THL inhibits the thioesterase domain of fatty acid synthase (FAS) and as a result halts cell proliferation and causes cell apoptosis. More detailed experiments show that gradually Lipase Inhibitor, THL affects the retinoblastoma protein pathway and leads to cell-cycle arrest at G1/S boundary. Lipase Inhibitor, THL is an inhibitor of pancreatic and gastric lipase, as well as carboxyl ester lipase (CEL) and diacylglycerol lipase-α (DAGLalpha). Lipase Inhibitor, THL also activates caspase-3.
