Abstract:

A new method for the rapidly screening of lipase inhibitors from extracts of traditional Chinese medicine using lipase-immobilized magnetic beads coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(LC-MS) was proposed. After the lipase-immobilized magnetic beads were prepared, they were incubated with total flavonoid of Fructus aurantii to fish the ligands of lipase. Then, the eluent of magnetic beads' screening was analyzed by LC-MS. Four compounds, as naringin, hesperidin, neohesperidin and poncirin, were identified as the potential lipase inhibitors. Furthermore, the in vitro inhibitory activities against lipase of four compounds were tested. The results showed that hesperidin, neohesperidin and poncirin exhibit lipase inhibitory activities, while poncirin was firstly reported to be a lipase inhibitor. Our research showed that active compounds could be rapidly screened from extracts of traditional Chinese medicine via lipase-immobilized magnetic beads coupled with LC-MS.
