What is the overall conclusion regarding CuE’s potential as an anti-obesity agent?

Label:chem

Topic
Current anti-obesity medications often exhibit side effects, necessitating safer natural alternatives.
Answer
Cucurbitacin E (CuE) effectively inhibits adipogenesis and lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells without cytotoxicity, positioning it as a promising, safe natural compound for functional foods or therapeutic development against obesity.
