Isotonic anhydride on treating with Cetyl chloroformate to produce Cetilistat with good purity and yield. Keywords: Cetilistat, triglycerides and synthetic lipase inhibitor 1. Introduction Takeda, under license from Norgina, is developing Cetilistat Cetilistat is a drug designed to treat obesity. It acts in the (ATL-962), an oral non-absorbed synthetic lipase inhibitor same way as the older drug Orlistat (Xenical) by inhibiting for the potential treatment of obesity in patients with or pancreatic lipase, an enzyme that breaks down triglycerides without diabetes in the intestine. Without this enzyme, triglycerides from the diet are prevented from being hydrolyzed into absorbable 2. Detailed Description free fatty acids and are excreted undigested. In human trials, Cetilistat was shown to produce similar weight loss to As shown in literature 1 Cetilistat can be prepared by Orlistat, but also produced similar side effects such as oily, reacting 2-amino-5-methyl benzoic acid with cetyl loose stools, fecal incontinence, frequent bowel movements, chloroformate (Hexadecyl chloroformate) in a 2suitable and flatulence. It is likely that the same precautions would solvent like DMF, DMAC, pyridine etc. To get carbamate apply in that absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and other intermediate. Which on cyclizing in presence of cyclizing fat-soluble nutrients may be inhibited, requiring vitamin agent like methyl chloroformate, CDI or BOC to get supplements to be used to avoid deficiencies.
