Human obesity is a health problem affecting a significant proportion of the American population. Numerous methods of treating obesity have been developed, but all have serious drawbacks. The present invention discloses a novel class of polymers with either a sulfur atom or an electron withdrawing group between a polymer backbone and a pendant aryl boronic acid group. Polymers having such an electron withdrawing group have been found to be particularly effective in inhibiting lipase in vitro and in vivo. Methods of treating obesity and reducing absorption of fat are also disclosed.
人类肥胖是影响美国人口相当大比例的健康问题。已经开发了许多治疗肥胖的方法,但都存在严重缺陷。本发明揭示了一种新型聚合物类别,其在聚合物主链和挂链芳基硼酸基团之间具有硫原子或电子吸引基团。发现具有这种电子吸引基团的聚合物在体外和体内抑制脂肪酶特别有效。还公开了治疗肥胖和减少脂肪吸收��方法。
