A wide range of glycoalkaloids from potato shoots and tomatoes, including trisaccharide-containing glycoalkaloids (alpha-chaconine, alpha-solanine, and alpha-solasonine), tetrasaccharide-containing glycoalkaloids (alpha-tomatine and demissine), and disaccharide-containing glycoalkaloids (beta
Transgenic potato plants overexpressing and repressing enzymes of flavonoids biosynthesis were created and analyzed. The selected plants clearly showed the expected changes in anthocyanins synthesis level. Overexpression of a DNA encoding dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (DFR) in sense orientation
Ingestion of immature, environmentally stressed, or cultivar-specific Solanum species (particularly the potato) has been previously associated with gastrointestinal and neurological symptoms caused by solanaceous steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs). We report on two geographically, temporally disparate
BACKGROUND
Malaria is one of the most common and serious protozoan tropical diseases. Multi-drug resistance remains pervasive, necessitating the continuous development of new antimalarial agents.
OBJECTIVE
Many glycosides, such as triterpenoid saponins, were shown to have antimalarial activity
As part of an effort to improve plant-derived foods such as potatoes, eggplants, and tomatoes, the antiproliferative activities against human colon (HT29) and liver (HepG2) cancer cells of a series of structurally related individual compounds were examined using a microculture tetrazolium (MTT)
