Chemical investigation of the freshwater microalga Chlorella sorokiniana led to the isolation of a monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG)-rich fraction possessing dose-dependent inhibitory activity against pancreatic lipase activity. The MGDG-rich fraction contains 12 MGDGs identified by LC/HRMS analysis. Among them, three MGDGs were new compounds, namely, (2S)-1-O-(7Z,10Z-hexadecadienoyl)-2-O-(7Z,10Z,13Z-hexadecatrienoyl)-3-O-\u3b2-D-galactopyranosylglycerol (1), (2S)-1-O-linoleoyl-2-O-(7Z,10Z-hexadecadienoyl)-3-O-\u3b2-D-galactopyranosylglycerol (6), and (2S)-1-O-oleoyl-2-O-(7Z,10Z-hexadecadienoyl)-3-O-\u3b2-D-galactopyranosylglycerol (8). The major galactolipids were isolated by semipreparative HPLC and tested for their effect toward pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity. All the tested MGDGs showed significant reduction of pancreatic lipase activity indicating possible beneficial use for management of lipase-related disorders such as obesity.Peer reviewed: YesNRC publication: Ye
