The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today-(February 07, 2007) approved orlistat capsules as an over-the-counter (OTC) weight loss aid for overweight adults. Orlistat was initially approved in 1999 as a prescription drug to treat obesity, and remains a prescription drug for obesity at a higher dose than the OTC version. OTC orlistat will be manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline under the name Alli and is indicated for use in adults ages 18 years and older along with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet, and exercise program.
FDA; FDA News. FDA Approves Orlistat for Over-the-Counter Use (P07-15). Available from, as of November 6, 2007: https://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/NEWS/2007/NEW01557.html
Orlistat is indicated for the management of obesity in persons with an initial body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 30 kg per square meter of body surface area (kg/sq m), or a BMI greater than or equal to 27 kg/sq m when other risk factors (such as hypertension, diabetes, or dyslipidemia are present. Orlistat should be use in conjunction with a reduced calorie diet for management of obesity, including weight loss, weight maintenance, and reduction of the risk of weight gain following previous weight loss. Weight loss has been observed within 2 week of initiation or orlistat therapy. /Included in US product label/

Orlistat is indicated for obesity management including weight loss and weight maintenance when used in combination with calorie reduction in overweight and obese adults; this indication applies to both the prescription formulation of 120 mg and the over the counter formulation of 60 mg. Orlistat in the 120 mg prescription formulation is also indicated to reduce the risk for weight regain following weight loss.
FDA Label
Xenical is indicated in conjunction with a mildly hypocaloric diet for the treatment of obese patients with a body mass index (BMI) greater or equal to 30 kg/m2, or overweight patients (BMI > 28 kg/m2) with associated risk factors.
Treatment with orlistat should be discontinued after 12 weeks if patients have been unable to lose at least 5% of the body weight as measured at the start of therapy.
Orlistat helps with weight reduction and maintenance by inhibiting the absorption of dietary fats via the inhibition of lipase enzymes.

Absorption
The systemic absorption and exposure of orlistat is low, however, systemic absorption of the drug is not required for orlistat activity. After an oral dose with 360 mg of radiolabeled orlistat, plasma radioactivity achieved a peak at about 8 hours. Plasma concentrations of unchanged parent drug were close to the lower end of detection limits (<5 ng/mL). In plasma samples of patients taking orlistat, the detection of unchanged drug was sporadic and very low concentrations were detected (<10 ng/mL or 0.02 M) with no evidence suggesting drug accumulation.
Route of Elimination
After single oral dose of radiolabled orlistat in both normal weight and obese volunteers fecal excretion of the unabsorbed drug was found to be the major route of elimination with <2% urinary excretion. Fecal elimination of orlistat is estimated between 95-97%. Complete excretion by both routes occurs within in 3 to 5 days.
Volume of Distribution
Volume of distribution cannot be obtained because the absorption of orlistat is minimal. Orlistat is minimally distributed to erythrocytes and is primarily bound to proteins.
Orlistat works locally within the GI tract, and therefore systemic absorption of the drug is not required for activity. In fact, systemic absorption of orlistat is minimal, and effects on systemic lipases are unlikely. Fecal excretion of unabsorbed drug is the major route of elimination.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2007., p. 3020
Systemic exposure to orlistat is minimal. Following oral dosing with 360 mg 14C-orlistat, plasma radioactivity peaked at approximately 8 hours; plasma concentrations of intact orlistat were near the limits of detection (<5 ng/mL). In therapeutic studies involving monitoring of plasma samples, detection of intact orlistat in plasma was sporadic and concentrations were low (<10 ng/mL or 0.02 uM), without evidence of accumulation, and consistent with minimal absorption.
Physicians Desk Reference 61st ed, Thomson PDR, Montvale, NJ 2007., p. 2831
The average absolute bioavailability of intact orlistat was assessed in studies with male rats at oral doses of 150 and 1000 mg/kg/day and in male dogs at oral doses of 100 and 1000 mg/kg/day and found to be 0.12%, 0.59% in rats and 0.7%, 1.9% in dogs, respectively.

Orlistat is hydrolyzed in the intestinal wall. In a radiolabeled orlistat mass balance study in obese patients, two metabolites were identified. The first metabolite, M1, was the hydrolyzed -lactone ring product of orlistat. The second metabolite, M3, was produced from M1s cleavage of the N-formyl leucine side-chain. Both metabolites accounted for about 42% of total plasma radioactivity. Both M1 and M3 are considered pharmacologically inactive.
Based on animal data, it is likely that the metabolism of orlistat occurs mainly within the gastrointestinal wall. Based on an oral 14C-orlistat mass balance study in obese patients, two metabolites, M1 (4-member lactone ring hydrolyzed) and M3 (M1 with N-formyl leucine moiety cleaved), accounted for approximately 42% of total radioactivity in plasma. M1 and M3 have an open beta-lactone ring and extremely weak lipase inhibitory activity (1000- and 2500-fold less than orlistat, respectively). In view of this low inhibitory activity and the low plasma levels at the therapeutic dose (average of 26 ng/mL and 108 ng/mL for M1 and M3, respectively, 2 to 4 hours after a dose), these metabolites are considered pharmacologically inconsequential. The primary metabolite M1 had a short half-life (approximately 3 hours) whereas the secondary metabolite M3 disappeared at a slower rate (half-life approximately 13.5 hours). In obese patients, steady-state plasma levels of M1, but not M3, increased in proportion to orlistat doses.
Physicians Desk Reference 61st ed, Thomson PDR, Montvale, NJ 2007., p. 2831
The half-life of orlistat of the small amount of absorbed orlistat ranges between 1-2 hours.
Based on limited data, the half-life of the absorbed orlistat is in the range of 1 to 2 hours.

Based on an oral 14C-orlistat mass balance study in obese patients, ... the primary metabolite M1 had a short half-life (approximately 3 hours) whereas the secondary metabolite M3 disappeared at a slower rate (half-life approximately 13.5 hours). In obese patients, steady-state plasma levels of M1, but not M3, increased in proportion to orlistat doses.

Orlistat is a potent and selective inhibitor of various lipase enzymes responsible for the metabolism of fat. It acts in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract via covalent binding to the serine residues located on the active site of both gastric and pancreatic lipase. When orlistat is taken with food containing fat, it partially inhibits the hydrolysis of triglycerides. This decreases absorption of monoaclglycerides and free fatty acids, contributing to weight maintenance and weight loss.
Orlistat is a reversible inhibitor of lipases. It exerts its therapeutic activity in the lumen of the stomach and small intestine by forming a covalent bond with the active serine residue site of gastric and pancreatic lipases. The inactivated enzymes are thus unavailable to hydrolyze dietary fat in the form of triglycerides into absorbable free fatty acids and monoglycerides. As undigested triglycerides are not absorbed, the resulting caloric deficit may have a positive effect on weight control. Systemic absorption of the drug is therefore not needed for activity. At the recommended therapeutic dose ... orlistat inhibits dietary fat absorption by approximately 30%.
Physicians Desk Reference 61st ed, Thomson PDR, Montvale, NJ 2007., p. 2831
Orlistat, a reversible inhibitor of gastric and pancreatic lipases, exhibits antiobesity and antilipemic activity. The drug also inhibits certain other (e.g., microbial, carboxylester [for hydrolysis of vitamin esters]) lipases. Orlistat is a synthetic derivative of naturally occurring lipstatin.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2007., p. 3020
Unlike most other currently available antiobesity agents, orlistat does not exert anorexigenic (appetite suppressant) effects. Instead, orlistat exerts its antiobesity effect by decreasing the absorption of dietary fats (triacylglycerols) in the intestinal lumen via inhibition of triglyceride hydrolysis; at recommended dosages, approximately one-third of dietary fat will not be absorbed. By preventing triglyceride hydrolysis, the drug decreases intestinal concentrations of absorbable free fatty acids and monoglycerides.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2007., p. 3020
Orlistat, an antiobesity drug, is cytostatic and cytotoxic to tumor cells. The antitumor activity of orlistat can be attributed to its ability to inhibit the thioesterase domain of fatty acid synthase (FAS). The objective of the present study was to test the effect of orlistat on endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis. Orlistat inhibits endothelial cell FAS, blocks the synthesis of fatty acids, and prevents endothelial cell proliferation. More significantly, orlistat inhibits human neovascularization in an ex vivo assay, which suggests that it may be useful as an antiangiogenic drug. The mechanism of these effects can be traced to the fact that orlistat prevents the display of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor (VEGFR2/KDR/Flk1) on the endothelial cell surface. Thus, orlistat is an antiangiogenic agent with a novel mechanism of action.
