Background & Aim: Solanum anomalum Thonn. ex Schumach. (family Solanaceae) is a shrub growing up to 2 metres tall. The edible fruits are gathered from the wild and consumed locally and the leaves are used locally in the treatment of various diseases. Evaluation of anti-inflammatory activity of leaf extract of Solanum anomalum was carried out to ascertain its uses in t...

General phytochemical screening of the aqueous extract of fruits of Solanum xanthocarpum (Solanaceae) revealed the presence of steroids, terpenes, phenolic compounds, saponins, fatty acids, alkaloids. Fractionation of aqueous extract and activity guided isolation resulted in isolation of two white crystalline powder which were subjected to physical, chemical and spectral identification using IR...

Solanum brasilianum Dunal was described by Dunal in 1813 with reference only to an illustration in an 18th century work by Leonard Plukenet. Th e plate is diffi cult to interpret and no explicitly related specimens were available so the name S. brasilianum has long been regarded as “unresolved” and has never been used. Material matching the Plukenet plate was discovered in the herbarium of the ...

In the present study, the metabolites present in the leaves of Solanum anguivi was extracted using ethyl acetate. HEpG-2 and MCF-7 cell lines were collected from NCCS. The ethyl acetate extract of the Solanum anguivi was analyzed for its antiproliferative activity against the cell lines using MTT assay at various concentrations. The cell viability was reduced upto 50% at the concentration of 0....

A reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detector (HPLC–DAD) was developed and validated to quantitate diosgenin in berries of Solanum nigrum using C18 analytical column as stationary phase and acetonitrile: water (92: 08, v/v) as mobile phase. The flow rate of mobile phase was kept at 1.0 ml/min. Column oven temperature was set at 25 0 C. The method was ...

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...

Solanum lycopersicum and Solanum tuberosum are agriculturally important crop species as they are rich sources of starch, protein, antioxidants, lycopene, beta-carotene, vitamin C, and fiber. The genomes of S. lycopersicum and S. tuberosum are currently available. However the linear strings of nucleotides that together comprise a genome sequence are of limited significance by themselves. Computa...

Current study was conducted to investigate antimicrobial activity of fruit extracts of two Solanaceous plants (Solanum nigrum and Solanum xanthocarpum) found in Pakistan. Petroleum ether, chloroform, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, acetone, methanol and water were utilized for extraction. The highest percentages of polar components of both the species were extracted by water; little amount of n...

this research was performed in order to study and diagnose potato virus y,potyvirus (pvy), potato virus x,potexvirus (pvx), potato virus s,carlavirus (pvs), potato virus a,potyvirus(pva) and potato leafroll luteovirus (plrv) on tubers and leaves of different potato varieties, namely, solea, safran, floris, proventa, milva, universa, lady olympia, vangogh, and marabel grown in afyon region of tu...
