    Abstract Objective: The aim of the study is to design N5-(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-3H-benzo[d]imidazole-2,5-diamine derivatives and evaluate its anti-obesity activity.
    Materials and methods: A few pyrazole-fused benzimidazole derivatives were designed as potential Pancreatic Lipase (PL) inhibitors. The designed N5-(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-3H-benzo[d]imidazole-2,5-diamine derivatives have been screened using the Lipinski rule of five, ADMET analysis, acute toxicity prediction, and molecular docking. Later on, the derivatives which possess the most drug-likeness properties and displayed the most potent inhibition of the enzyme in molecular docking were synthesized. Then, in vitro enzyme assay was performed.
    Results: Orlistat used as the standard exhibited 91±1.68% inhibition of the enzyme, displayed binding affinity (BA) of only -4.5 kcal/mol with Pancreatic Lipase (PL), and made only one salt bridge attractive charge and carbon-hydrogen bond with ASP79 and TRP252, respectively. Compound 9 displayed the most potent activity (93±1.12% inhibition of P.L. and -9.5 kcal/mol BA). It has formed five conventional H- bonds with GLU253, ILE78, ASP79, PHE258, and one Pi-donor H- bond with ILE78. From the present investigation, we hereby reported (E)-N2-((naphthalene-1-yl)methylene)-N5-(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-3H-benzo[d]imidazole-2,5-diamine as most potent PL inhibitor for the treatment of obesity, which can be further optimized by undergoing more studies using in vivo and in vitro models.
    Conclusions: (E)-N2-((naphthalene-1-yl)methylene)-N5-(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-3H-benzo[d]imidazole-2,5-diamine as most potent PL inhibitor for the treatment of obesity which can be further optimized better using more in vivo and in vitro models. PL plays a critical role in digesting dietary fat. Therefore, PL inhibitors are verified as a potential therapy for treating obesity.

    Abstract Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the Withaferin-A against the drug target α-amylase, revealing its plausible mode of action and molecular-level interactions essential for this specific target inhibitory potential computational approach.
    Materials and methods: In this scenario, we used computational methods, including docking, molecular dynamics simulation, and model-building simulations, to elucidate the atomic-level details responsible for the inhibitory potential of Withaferin-A derived from W. somnifera. The studio visualizer software was used for the visualization of ligands, structures of the receptor, bond length, and rendering of the image. Absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) characteristics of phytochemicals were investigated. Crystal structure of protein receptors and ligands were generated. Semi-flexible docking was done using Autodock software. Docking was performed using the Lamarckian Genetic Algorithm (LGA). Molecular descriptors were evaluated, and the pharmacological properties of the phytochemicals were explored. Molecular dynamic simulations were analyzed at the atomic level. All the simulations were conducted under the same temperature, pressure, and volume circumstances over the simulated time scale.
    Results: Withaferin-A has shown a strong binding affinity towards α-amylase as demonstrated with -9.79 Kcal/mol with 66.61 estimated nanomolecular IC50 value for plausible anti-obesity activity. Molecular-level relationships and knowledge obtained from this study indicate solid interactions with TYR59, ASP197, and HIS299 residues which are of high importance for future works related to computational screening of target-specific α-amylase inhibitors. The results from the analysis have revealed potential molecular-level interactions useful for further designing/discovering novel α-amylase inhibitors.
    Conclusions: The framework of the studied phytochemicals enables the rapid development of subsequent modifications that could result in more lead-like compounds with better inhibitory efficacy and selectivity for α-amylase.

    Abstract Objective: The current study intends to find out the efficacy of Orlistat in the management of hyperlipidemia, Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) and Body Mass Index (BMI).
    Materials and methods: This retrospective study has evaluated the lipid profiles of the patients, who have been using metformin therapy for Type 2 diabetes. The study has obtained data regarding the parameters like triglyceride, Total cholesterol (TC), LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and LDL/HDL ratio, systolic blood pressure and Body Mass Index (BMI). Random distribution of patients was done into placebo and Orlistat groups. The placebo group received only metformin, and patients in the Orlistat group received Orlistat along with metformin. After 24 weeks, the follow-up study was done, and statistical analysis was conducted.
    Results: The study found that the Orlistat group has significant improvement (p<0.05) more improvement in LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, Total cholesterol, LDL/HDL Ratio and Triglycerides, while BMI and systolic blood pressure did not show a significant difference between placebo and Orlistat group.
    Conclusions: This study has concluded that Orlistat can be used for significant improvement in lipid profile. The study also found that Orlistat may not have a significant effect on reducing BMI and blood pressure without adequate lifestyle modification.
