Solasodine
Chemical compound
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Solasodine is a poisonous alkaloid chemical compound that occurs in plants of the family Solanaceae such as potatoes and tomatoes.[1] Solasonine and solamargine are glycoalkaloid derivatives of solasodine.[1] Solasodine is teratogenic to hamster fetuses in a dose of 1200 to 1600 mg/kg.[2] A 2013 literature survey found that various studies have indicated that solasodine may have diuretic, anticancer, antifungal, cardiotonic, antispermatogenetic, antiandrogenic, immunomodulatory, antipyretic and/or various other effects on central nervous system.[3]
