This article reviews, connected the gap between the folkloric use of Solanum nigrum and the results of evidence based experiments. Although Solanum nigrum is a rich source of one of plants most dreaded toxins solanine, it has appreciably monstrated its potential as a reservoir of antioxidants having hepatoprotective, anti-tumor, cytostatic, anti-convulsant, anti-ulcerogenic and anti-inflammator...

Black nightshade (Solanum nigrum L.) has been traditionally used as indigenous Chinese medicine. Phytochemical investigations of the immature fruits S. have carried out and nine phenylpropanoids (1-9) were obtained. Their structures elucidated on basis spectroscopic chemical methods, including MS, 1H 13C-NMR. They identified (7S, 8R)-4-[3-hydroxymethyl-5-(3- hydroxypropyl)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran...

AIM To investigate the bactericidal and anti-adhesive properties of 25 plants against Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). METHODS Twenty-five plants were boiled in water to produce aqueous extracts that simulate the effect of cooking. The bactericidal activity of the extracts was assessed by a standard kill-curve with seven strains of H. pylori. The anti-adhesive property was assessed by the inh...

Two lesser known indigenous vegetables: netlespurge (Jatropha tanjorensis) and black nightshade (Solanum nigrium) were each processed into flour samples incorporated wheat in coating peanut. These veggie peanut burgers analysed for their antioxidant properties such as DPPH, FRAP Metal Chelating ability assay linoleic acid inhibition. Veggie burger with vegetable had values between 44.62 to 68.3...

The location of wild and cultivated host plants by pepper weevil (Anthonomus eugenii Cano) may be aided by visual cues, the male-produced aggregation pheromone, herbivore-induced, or constitutive host plant volatiles. The attractiveness of constitutive plant volatiles to pioneer weevils is important in understanding, and perhaps controlling, dispersal of this insect between wild and cultivated ...

Root extracts of black nightshade (Solanum nigrum) were analyzed for activity against isolates ABA-31 and ABA-104 of Alternaria brassicicola, the causal agent of black leaf spot of Chinese cabbage (Brassica pekinensis). Preliminary results showed that dried root tissues of black nightshade extracted with 70% ethanol contained antifungal properties against A. brassicicola. Ethanol root extracts ...

black nightshade is a weed plant that grows abundantly in most parts of iran. in this study, central composite response surface method to investigate the effect of temperature 35-55 °c and pressures 170-350 bar during the dynamic time of 120 min, the particle size of 150 microns and flow rate of 3 liters per minute on the efficiency of oil extracted from the fruits of black nightshade and optim...

in this research corn were planted in 3 densities (8, 12, 16 plant/m2) in two planting patterns (single and double-row) with seven summer weed species, including redroot pigweed, green foxtail, annual bluegrass, common lambsquarter, jimsonweed, black nightshade and johnsongrass were planted. temperature, quality and quantity of light reaching to soil surface were measured and the number of emer...
