| | SOLASODINE Usage And Synthesis |
| Synthesis | Research on the chemical synthesis of SOLASODINE began in the 1950s, and numerous synthetic methods have been reported. Uhle et al. synthesized SOLASODINE using kryptogenin as a starting material in a 7-step reaction with a total yield of 4.8% (synthetic route shown in the figure). This route resulted in a low yield of SOLASODINE, and kryptogenin, the starting material, was expensive. Later, a new method for synthesizing SOLASODINE was reported. Using diosgenin as a starting material and pseudodiosgenin, a 5-step reaction was conducted to prepare SOLASODINE with a yield of 24% (synthetic route shown in the figure). This method is simple and yields a high amount of oxygen. More importantly, this synthetic route allows for structural modification and alteration of SOLASODINE, which is significant for subsequent studies on its biological activity and mechanism of action.

Figure 3: New Synthetic Route Map of SOLASODINE | | Description | There is still some doubt as to whether this base occurs as such in Solanum
aviculare and S. xanthocarpum or whether it is an artifact formed from Sola_x0002_sonine (q.v.) during the extraction process. The base is laevorotatory having [α]20D - 92.4° (C6H6) and the following salts and derivatives have been prepared:
hydrochloride, m.p. 314°C; hydriodide, m.p. 293°C; oxalate, m.p. 248°C; tartrate, m.p. 222°C; picrate, m.p. 1.4l-2°C; picrolonate, m.p. 234°C; acetyl
derivative, m.p. 195°C; benzoyl compound, m.p. 2l6-7°C and the 3:5-dinitrobenzoyl derivative, m.p. 191.5-193°C. The alkaloid forms a sparingly soluble
digitonide and yields Diels's hydrocarbon on selenium dehydrogenation. | | Chemical Properties | Freely soluble in benzene, pyridine and chloroform, soluble in ethanol, methanol and acetone, slightly soluble in water, insoluble in ether Sources Solanum aviculare Forst. fruit; Solanum nigrum L. fruit; Solanum lyratum Thunb. whole grass; Capsicum annuum seed. | | Uses | Solasodine is a potentially useful precursor for steroidal compounds and hormones, this is usually found in plants from the solanaceae family. It also has potent cytotoxic and anti-inflammatory effects. | | Uses | antineoplastic, antiinflammatory | | Uses | A potentially useful precursor. | | Uses | Starting material for steroidal drugs. | | Definition | ChEBI: 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 a plant metabolite, a teratogenic agent, a diuretic, an antifungal agent, a cardiotonic drug, an immunomodulator, an antipyretic, an apoptosis inducer, an antioxidant, an antiinfective agent, an anticonvulsant, a central nervous system depressant and an antispermatogenic agent. It is an azaspiro compound, an oxaspiro compound, an alkaloid antibiotic, a hemiaminal ether, a sapogenin and a steroid alkaloid. It is a conjugate base of a solasodine(1+). | | General Description | This substance is a primary reference substance with assigned absolute purity (considering chromatographic purity, water, residual solvents, inorganic impurities). The exact value can be found on the certificate. Produced by PhytoLab GmbH & Co. KG | | Biochem/physiol Actions | Solasodine is a neuroprotective antioxidant glycoalkaloid of Solanum species. Solasodine increases superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT),and glutathione (GSH) levels, while reducing lipid peroxidation (LPO) and nitric oxide (NO) levels in the brains of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-injury model in rats. Also, Solasonine displayed multiple activities including, anti-cancer and leishmanicidal activities. | | Safety Profile | Poison by intraperitoneal route. Moderately toxic by ingestion. Experimental teratogenic and reproductive effects. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx. | | Purification Methods | Solasodine crystallises (as monohydrate) from MeOH as lustrous plates (on heating, the plates change to needles as they melt and resolidify in needles), or aqueous 80% EtOH, and sublimes at high vacuum. After recrystallisation from H2O, m 198-199o, then from Me2CO/H2O, m 199-201o, it has [] D 22 -109.3o (c 0.581, CHCl3). On TLC with silica gel G (*C6H6/absolute EtOH, 8:2) it has RF 0.45. IR (KBr): max at 10.3, 10.4, 11.2, 11.5 (azaoxaspirane bands). [Schreiber & Rnsch Tetrahedron 20 1939 1964, Uhle J Org Chem 27 656 1962, Kessar et al.
