Application

2,3-Dimercapto-1-propanol tributyrate is a thioester analog of triacylglycerol and has been used:
  • in lipase inhibition assay during in vitro screening of medicinal plants as antidiabetics with glucosidase and lipase inhibitory activities
  • in colorimetric microplate assay for lipase activity
  • to analyze positional specificity of LipG (lipase-encoding gene) toward triacylglycerol by a simple continuous spectrophotometric method

We cloned lipG, which encoded a lipolytic enzyme, from a Korean tidal flat metagenomic library. LipG was related to six putative lipases previously identified only in bacterial genome sequences. These enzymes comprise a new family. We partially characterized LipG, providing

The present work describes a colorimetric microplate assay for lipase activity based on the reaction between 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitro benzoic acid) (DTNB) and the hydrolysis product of 2,3-dimercapto-1-propanol tributyrate (DMPTB). Reaction mixtures containing DTNB, DMPTB, and lipase were prepared in microplate wells

The present study was carried out with a view of determining ricin lipolytic activity on neutral lipids in emulsion and in a membrane-like model. Using 2,3-dimercapto-1-propanol tributyrate (BAL-TC(4)) as substrate, the lipolytic activity of ricin was found to be proportional

This work shows the inhibitory effect on glucosidase and lipase enzymes of 23 medicinal plants described as traditional treatments for diabetes in several Mexican sources. Hydroalcoholic extracts of selected plants were evaluated at 1 mg/mL for glucosidase and 0.25 mg/mL for lipase
