Solasodine levels in Solanum sisymbriifolium Lam.

Abstract

Solasodine content in berries, leaves and stem of S. sisymbriifolium, using three different procedures, was 0.93, 0.73 and 0.23% respectively. Further in chromatogram not only solasodine but three more alkaloids (Rf 0.22, 0.48 and 0.88) were found which could not be identified due to lack of authentic samples.
