Phytochemical Evaluation of Total Glycoalkaloid of Dried Fruit of Solanum Nigrum Linn

Abstract

Solanum nigum L. is one of the traditional medicinal plants with a current interest as a source natural medicine. There are steroidal glycoalkaloid and aglycon present in solanum nigrum that expected to be active phytoconstituents. Crude ext. of dried fruit of solanum nigrum was analyzed for the presence of the phytoconstituents with the use of anal. methods like HPLC and GC-MS. From this study, Solasonine was the steroidal glycoalkaloid which had higher content (5.85 mg/g) than other relative constituents and aglycon solasodine was present in 75.94% which was significantly higher than solanidine.
