Item Bioactive steroidal alkaloid glycosides from Selanum aculeastrum.(2002) Wanyonyi, Alphonse W.; Chhabra, S.C.; Mkoji, G.; Eilert, Udo; Njue, Wilson N.Solanum aculeastrum Dunal was investigated for the presence of molluscicidal compounds. This led to the isolation of solaculine A, from the root bark in addition to known steroidal alkaloids; solamargine and beta-solamarine from the berries. The structures were elucidated by spectroscopic techniques. Molluscicidal activity of the aqueous extracts of the berries and root bark, and the isolated compounds were investigated.
