What is Solasodine?

Plain description, key identifiers and synonyms

Solasodine is an oxaspiro compound and steroid alkaloid sapogenin with formula C27H43NO2 found in the Solanum (nightshade) family. It is used as a precursor in the synthesis of complex steroidal compounds such as contraceptive pills. It has a role as an antispermatogenic agent, an antioxidant, an antiinfective agent, a central nervous system depressant, an antipyretic, a diuretic, an anticonvulsant, an antifungal agent, a cardiotonic drug, an immunomodulator, a teratogenic agent, an apoptosis inducer and a plant metabolite. It is a hemiaminal ether, a sapogenin, a steroid alkaloid, an azaspiro compound, an oxaspiro compound and an alkaloid antibiotic. It is a conjugate base of a solasodine(1+).
