OBJECTIVE
To study the chemical constituents of Solanum cathayanum.
METHODS
Chemical constituents were isolated by chromatographic methods and identified by NMR analysis.
RESULTS
Five compounds were isolated and identified as lignoceric acid (I), beta-sitosterol (II), lupeol (III)
Chemical reinvestigation of the aerial parts of Solanum schimperianum Hochst led to the isolation of ten compounds, lupeol (1), β-sitosterol (2), β-sitosterol glucoside (3), oleanolic acid (4), teferidin (5), teferin (6), ferutinin (7), 5-hydroxy-3,7,4'-trimethoxyflavone (8), retusin (9) and
