Orlistat is one chemical that can inhibit the activity of enzyme lipase. Higher version of orlistat which is only available through prescription is Xenicol. There are several enzymes that break down fat molecules in our food so it can be used/stored in our body. Certain drugs resist the activity of those enzymes and fat is passed through the system unabsorbed.
