OBJECTIVE To study on the chemical constituents of Solanum torvum. METHODS The aerial parts of S. torvum swartz were extracted with 95% alcohol and the constituents were isolated and purified by chromatographic silica gel and Sephadex LH-20. Their structures were determined by NMR and MS spectral

Chemical reinvestigation of the aerial parts of Solanum schimperianum Hochst led to the isolation of ten compounds, lupeol (1), β-sitosterol (2), β-sitosterol glucoside (3), oleanolic acid (4), teferidin (5), teferin (6), ferutinin (7), 5-hydroxy-3,7,4'-trimethoxyflavone (8), retusin (9) and

Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. Cancer chemoprevention is one of the promising strategies to decrease its incidence and both plant extracts and natural products may constitute sources of new chemoprevention agents. Some Brazilian species popularly used to treat inflammatory conditions

(SN), are often prescribed in the polyherbal formulas for cancer treatment by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioners. The

Two new steroidal alkaloids (1-2) have been isolated from the leaves and roots of Solanum hypomalacophyllum Bitter, respectively. Their structures have been elucidated as deacetoxysolaphyllidine-3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (1) and 4-keto-5,6-dihydro-(20S)-verazine (2). Furthermore, two known
