Bioassay-guided isolation of anti-adipogenic compounds from defatted pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) seeds

The extracts of pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) seeds are known to inhibit differentiation and adipogenesis of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. In this study, bioassay-guided fractionation of a crude ethanolic extract from defatted pepper seeds led to the isolation of two anti-adipogenic furostanol saponins, capsi...
