Abstract

The objective of this study was to identify pancreatic lipase inhibitory active ingredients of mango leaves, and to examine a relationship between leaves maturation and pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity. A methanolic extract of old dark green mango leaves (OML-ext) showed a porcine pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity. The pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity of OML-ext was attributable to 3-C-β-D-glucosyl-2,4,4’,6-tetrahydroxybenzophenone (2) and mangiferin (1). The pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity of young mango leaf extract was superior to that of old leaf extract. It was suggested that the activity is correlated with the content of 2 in these extract. Considering the amounts of leaves obtained from pruning, old dark green leaves may be a reasonable natural resource for the preparation of ingredients with lipase inhibitory activity.
