Abstract
The present study was conducted to evaluate both the cytotoxic and anti-inflammatory activities of
ethanol extracts (T), and both n-butanol (B) and total glyco-alkaloid fractions (TGA) of Solanum
seaforthianum Andr. (SS) and Solanum macrocarpon L. (SM) growing in Egypt. Cytotoxic activity was
measured using sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay on prostate cancer cell line (PC-3), breast cancer cell
line (MCF7), liver cancer cell line (HepG2) and human fibroblast cell line (HFB4) while anti-inflammatory
activity was measured using formalin induced paw edema method. The highest cytotoxic potentiality
was indicated for those of TGA fraction of S. seaforthianum Andr. on PC-3 cell line (IC50 = 0.28μg/ml ±
0.01) followed by its activity on MCF-7 cell line (IC50 = 2.84 μg/ml±0.20). On the other hand, the potency
of TGA fractions of both species showed higher potency followed by n-butanol fractions where ethanol
extracts showed lowest potency which is emphasizing the cytotoxic potentiality of the glyco-alkaloids.
Based on the IC50s indicated for the different extracts and fractions on normal fibroblast cell line,
considerable safety was indicated against prostate carcinoma rather than breast or hepatic carcinoma.
TGA fraction of S. macrocarpon L. and of S. seaforthianum Andr. showed the highest anti-inflammatory
activity with efficacy of 159 and 156%, respectively as compared to standard indomethacin. That’s why
the TGA fraction of S. seaforthianum Andr. was subjected for isolation of individual alkaloids using
different chromatographic techniques and identified using 1H and 13-CNMR spectroscopy beside Cochromatography
with authentic samples as solamargine (A1), solasonine (A2) and solasodine (A3) which
are firstly isolated from S. seaforthianum Andr. growing in Egypt.
