Solanum trilobatum is a widely used plant in the Indian indigenous systems of medicine. It is mainly used in the treatment of respiratory diseases like bronchial asthma. In our present study, we report that the aqueous and alcoholic extracts of S. trilobatum exhibited inhibition of mast cell degranulation. Further, aqueous and alcoholic extracts of S. trilobatum significantly decreased the rele...

Solanum trilobatum L. (Solanaceae) has been well known as nightshade, commonly used by diverse populations to heal several disorders. Earlier studies in Solanum trilobatum were focused on different pharmacological activities and a few were concerned with antioxidant and hepatoprotective effects. Thus, the current study was focused to evaluate the antioxidant potential and hepatoprotective effec...

In this study, aqueous methanol and n-butanol extracts of aerial parts of Solanum trilobatum L. (Solanaceae) were tested for antimicrobial activity by disc diffusion method. From the results, it was found that extracts from leaves, flowers, stem and fruits revealed antimicrobial activity against Gram (+) and Gram (-) bacteria. Maximal antibacterial activity was seen against Klebsiella with aque...

Methanol extracts of Solanum trilobatum Linn Leaf were investigated for anti-inflammatory activity with acute and chronic models. In the doses of 100, 200 and 300 mg kgexhibited significant (P < 0.05) anti-inflammatory activity in all the models tested. The methanol extracts of Solanum trilobatum Linn at 300 mg kg showed maximum inhibition of 54.44 % in carrageenan-induced rat paw oedema while ...

The effects of the fertilizers, CYTOZYME, MIRACLE, PLANOFIX and VIPUL on Solanum trilobatum were studied CYTOZYME showed improved morphometric performance and the highest yield. VIPUL contributed greater drought resistance to the medicinal plant.

The application of plant-derived immunostimulants in aquaculture for the prevention of diseases is a promising new development. The objective is to study the effect of crude extract, water and hexane soluble fractions of Solanum trilobatum leaves administered intraperitoneally on the specific immune response, non specific immunity and disease resistance in Oreochromis mossambicus. The specific ...

Comparison of natural plant and callus extracts of Solanum trilobatum L. was studied against two bacteria and fungi, for their antimicrobial activity using cup diffusion method. Various solvents such as chloroform, petroleum ether and ethanol were used. The leaf and stem segments of the plant were culturedon Murashige and S koog basal medium supplemented with various growth regulators. Maximum ...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Many hepatoprotective herbal preparations have been recommended in alternative systems of medicine for the treatment of hepatic disorders. No systematic study has been done on protective efficacy of Solanum trilobatum to treat hepatic diseases. Protective action of Solanum trilobatum extract (STE) was evaluated by us in an animal model of hepatotoxicity induced by carbon...

The leaf extract of Solanum trilobatum (Solanaceae) was tested under laboratory conditions for oviposition deterrent and skin repellent activities against the adult mosquito Anopheles stephensi. Concentrations of 0.01, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075 and 0.1% reduced egg laying by gravid females from 18 to 99% compared to ethanol-treated controls. In skin repellent tests, concentrations of 0.001, 0.005, 0.0...

methanolic extract of solanum trilobatum linn. (mest) belonging to the family of solanacea was evaluated by hot plate and acetic acid induced writhing methods to assess its analgesic activity. the extract was also evaluated for its anti-inflammatory activity by subjecting into carrageenan, and cotton pellet induced granuloma tests for its effect on acute and chronic phase inflammation models in...
