A series of eighteen indole glyoxylamide analogues were synthesized, characterized and evaluated for their pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity. Porcine pancreatic lipase (Type II) was used with 4-nitrophenyl butyrate (as substrate) for the in vitro assay. Compound 8f exhibited competitive inhibition against pancreatic lipase with IC50 value of 4.92 µM, comparable to that of the standard drug, orlistat (IC50 = 0.99 µM). Compounds 7a-i and 8a-i were subjected to molecular docking into the active site of human PL (PDB ID: 1LPB) wherein compound 8f possessed a potential MolDock score of -153.037 kcal/mol. Molecular dynamics simulation of 8f complexed with pancreatic lipase, confirmed the role of aromatic substitution in stabilizing the ligand through hydrophobic interactions (maximum observed RMSD = 3.5 Å).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007211 Indoles Benzopyrroles with the nitrogen at the number one carbon adjacent to the benzyl portion, in contrast to ISOINDOLES which have the nitrogen away from the six-membered ring.
D008049 Lipase An enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyzes the reaction of triacylglycerol and water to yield diacylglycerol and a fatty acid anion. It is produced by glands on the tongue and by the pancreas and initiates the digestion of dietary fats. (From Dorland, 27th ed) EC 3.1.1.3.

D010179 Pancreas A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.
