BACKGROUND
Previous reports showed that the Steroidal Glycoalkaloid Solamargine inhibited proliferation of non-melanoma skin cancer cells. However, Solamargine was not tested systematically on different types of melanoma cells and was not simultaneously tested on normal cells either. In this study
Natural products are some of the important sources of new anticancer drugs. The Brazilian flora is considered one of the most diverse in the word, although not many large-scale pharmacological and phytochemical studies have been conducted to date. With this in mind, in the present study we evaluated
The glycoalkaloids solasonine (SN) and solamargine (SM) have been studied for their antiparasitic, antifungal, and anticancer properties, especially in vitro and in vivo against non-melanoma skin cancer. Thus, the alkaloidic extract of Solanum lycocarpum, which contains approximately 45% each of SN
Inhibition of cancer can occur via apoptosis, a genetically directed process of cell self-destruction that involves numerous biomarkers and signaling pathways. Glycoalkaloids are nitrogen-containing secondary plant metabolites found in numerous Solanaceous plants including eggplants, potatoes, and
