The gboma (Solanum macrocarpon L.) and scarlet eggplants (Solanum aethiopicum L.), which form part of the traditional sub-Saharan African culture, are two of the many neglected crops with potential for increased cultivation or as a genetic resource for improving agronomic traits of the common
Alpha-solamargine isolated from the fresh fruits of Solanum americanum Miller was studied for its toxicity. Lethality studies in rats showed a dose-mortality relationship with a LD(50) of 42 mg/kg body weight intraperitoneally. The chronic and subchronic toxicity investigations indicated that the
BACKGROUND
Tetranychus evansi is an invasive pest of solanaceous crops in Africa, and in the field it differentially attacks edible African nightshades. The chemical basis for the differential attack on these plant species is largely unknown. Using bioassays and chemical analysis, we investigated
OBJECTIVE
To extract and purify the active component from Solanum for Oncomelania snail control, evaluate its effect against the snails and determine its chemical structure.
METHODS
Pedicel and seed were moved and the remaining part of the Solanum xanthocarpum fruit was torrefied and ground into
The glycoalkaloids alpha-chaconine, alpha-solamargine, alpha-solanine, solasonine, sycophantine, and tomatine, as well as the aglycones demissidine, solanidine, solanocapsine, solasodine, tomatidine, and veratrine were tested as growth inhibitors of Trypanosoma cruzi, strain EP, in LIT medium. Their
