Solamargine
Solamargine is an azaspiro compound, a steroid and an oxaspiro compound. Solamargine has been used in trials studying the treatment of Actinic Keratosis. Solamargine is a natural product found in Solanum pittosporifolium, Solanum americanum, and other organisms with data available. Solamargine, a derivative from the steroidal solasodine in Solanum species, exhibits anticancer activities in numerous types of cancer. Solamargine induces non-selective cytotoxicity and P-glycoprotein inhibition. Solamargine significantly inhibits migration and invasion of HepG2 cells by down-regulating MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression and activity[1][2].
