1,3-Dioleoyl-2-octanoyl glycerol, a triacylglycerol, features oleic acid at the sn-1 and sn-3 positions and octanoic acid at the sn-2 position. Its utility lies in the characterization of R. oryzae lipase functionality, specifically for regiodistribution analysis of fats that comprise medium- and short-chain fatty acids.

1,3-Dioleoyl-2-myristoyl glycerol, a triacylglycerol, features oleic acid at the sn-1 and sn-3 positions and myristic acid at the sn-2 position, and is identified in palm oil.

4-Methylumbelliferyl caprylate (MUCAP) is a fluorogenic substrate for C8 esterase. MUCAP is cleaved by C8 esterase to release the fluorescent moiety 4-methylumbelliferyl (4-MU). 4-MU fluorescence is pH-dependent with excitation maxima of 320 and 360 nm at low (1.97-6.72) and high (7.12-10.3) pH, respectively, and an emission maximum ranging from 445 to 455 nm, increasing as pH decreases.

endothelial lipase and lipoprotein lipase inhibitor

Salacinol is a naturally occurring alpha-glucosidase inhibitor isolated from an Ayurvedic traditional medicine Salacia reticulata.

Lipstatin is a potent inhibitor of the pancreas lipase. It is reported to be useful in the treatment and/or prevention of obesity and related diseases.
