The purpose of this study was to develop an oral dosage form of orlistat for the treatment of obesity with reduced adverse effects, for example, fatty and oily stool that have been reported to be associated with the mechanism of action of orlistat. Based on the in vitro results obtained in this study, xanthan gum was selected as an oil-entrapping agent. Thus, the co-administration of mini-tablets containing orlistat and mini-tablets containing xanthan gum was proposed as the optimized dosage form for orlistat. The prepared mini-tablets showed an equivalent drug release profile with a similarity factor value, f2, more than 50 to that of com. marketed orlistat immediate-release capsules, Xenical capsules. In addition, the optimized formulation also showed the in vivo anti-obesity effects similar to those of Xenical capsules. In particular, the anal. of feces excreted by Sprague-Dawley rats revealed that the optimized formulation resulted in significantly less oily stool, steatorrhea, than Xenical capsules (P < 0.05). Consequently, the proposed formulation, the co-administration of mini-tablets containing orlistat and mini-tablets containing xanthan gum, may be considered as a promising anti-obesity treatment with reduced adverse effects related to orlistat. International Journal of Pharmaceutics (Amsterdam, Netherlands) published new progress about Antiobesity agents. 96829-58-2 belongs to class amides-buliding-blocks, and the molecular formula is C29H53NO5, HPLC of Formula: 96829-58-2.
