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] Literature survey reveals that solasodine has diuretic, anticancer, antifungal, cardiotonic, antispermatogenetic, antiandrogenic, immunomodulatory, antipyretic and various effects on central nervous system.[3]
Uses[edit]
It is commercially used as a precursor for the production of complex steroidal compounds such as contraceptive pills, via a 16-DPA intermediate.[1]
