Research shows that constituents of Solanum nigrum bind with ACE 2 (an enzyme the Sars-Cov-2 virus uses to enter the body) and have the potential to inhibit viral replication; cytokine storm and ...

The Solanum genus, renowned for its traditional medicinal use, harbours a range of steroidal glycoalkaloids that have emerged as promising antitumour agents. These compounds, isolated from plants such ...

Solanum plants such as tomatoes, potatoes and eggplants produce nitrogen-containing defense substances, known as steroidal glycoalkaloids, which protect them from herbivores and plant diseases. The ...

The biosynthetic pathway of specific steroidal compounds in nightshade plants (such as potatoes, tomatoes and eggplants) starts with cholesterol. Several studies have investigated the enzymes involved ...
