| Bioactivity | Solasodine (Purapuridine) is a steroidal alkaloid that occurs in plants of the Solanaceae family. Solasodine has neuroprotective, antifungal, hypotensive, anticancer, antiatherosclerotic, antiandrogenic and anti-inflammatory activities[1][2]. |
| Invitro | Solasodine (90 μM; 2 days) treatment displays significant sprouting in P19 cells. Solasodine induces strong expression of the different neuronal markers studied, including βIII-tubulin, synaptophysin, MAP2, ChAT, and neuroblast marker doublecortin. Solasodine induces the differentiation of P19 cells, essentially towards the neuronal pathway[1].Solasodine induce apoptosis by inhibiting the p53-MDM2 complex, p21Waf1/Cip1, and Bcl-2 proteins[3]. |
