Abstract

Aba The Solanaceae family has a cosmopolitan distribution, widely diversified in number of genera and species, being recognized for its food, medicinal and pharmacological potential. The genus Solanum stands out for being the most representative, as well as to produce different alkaloids. In the present review, information related to the biological activities of Solanum alkaloids is described. Species such as Solanum crinitum, Solanum lycocarpum, Solanum oocarpum, Solanum sisymbriifloium, for example, have alkaloids such as solamargine, solasonine, tomatidine and kukoamines, among others. These compounds have different structures and, consequently, different biological activities, such as: antimicrobial, antilarvicidal, anticancer, antioxidant, antidiabetic, cytotoxic and hepatoprotective potential stand out. Further studies are recommended that can identify novel alkaloids, as well as their biological activities.

Keywords: Solanum, alkaloids, biological activity, hepatoprotective, natural products
