Aster glehni F. Schmidt (AG), is a natural product known to have anti-obesity effects, but the mechanism underlying these effects is not well documented. We hypothesized that AG may have inhibitory effects on enzymes related to lipid accumulation. Herein, AG fractions were tested against HMG-CoA reductase (HMGR) and fatty acid synthase (FAS), two important enzymes involved in cholesterol and fatty acid synthesis, respectively. We found that dicaffeoylquinic acid (DCQA) methyl esters present in AG are largely responsible for the inhibition of HMGR and FAS. Since free DCQA is a major form present in AG, we demonstrated that a simple methylation of the AG extract could increase the overall inhibitory effects against those enzymes. Through this simple process, we were able to increase the inhibitory effect by 150%. We believe that our processed AG effectively modulates the HMGR and FAS activities, providing promising therapeutic potential for cholesterol- and lipid-lowering effects.

The potent suppression of adipocyte differentiation by 4-(4-methylbenzamino)benzoate was discovered during the search for new antiobesity compounds. 4-(4-methylbenzamino)benzoate was observed to suppress adipocyte differentiation in 3T3-L1 cells by 96.8% at 50 μM without cytotoxicity. In addition, 4-(4-methylbenzamino)benzoate reduced the cellular expression of fatty acid synthase in a concentration-dependent manner, as well as suppressing PPAR-gamma activity, which controls fatty acid storage and glucose metabolism. Based on these results, 4-(4-methylbenzamino)benzoate shows potential as an antiobesity material.
