DrugBank MoA: Cetilistat is a gastrointestinal lipase inhibitor that blocks fat digestion and absorption, leading to reduced energy intake, and thus weight loss. It is distinct from most other anti-obesity agents as it does not act on the brain to reduce appetite, but acts peripherally. The compound remains in the gastrointestinal tract with no significant absorption into the body.
