Product Description
Solamargine is an analogue of the steroid Solasodine developed from the nightshade plant and has shown anti-cancer effect in a variety of cancers. Solamargine induces non-selective cell toxicity/cytotoxicity and P-gp inhibition. Solamargine significantly inhibits the migration and invasion of HepG2 cells by downregulating the expression and activity of MMP-2 and MMP-9.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
P-glycoprotein (IC₅₀ = 15.62 μg/mL against SH-SY5Y cells; 9.1-fold inhibition at 100 μg/mL) [1]
Matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) [2]
Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) [2]
Caspase-3 [3]
Caspase-7 [4]
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) [4]
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway (Erk1/2) [4]
Long noncoding RNA NEAT1_2 (lncNEAT1_2) [4]
Long noncoding RNA PINT (lncPINT) [4]
ln Vitro
In the G2/M phase, solamargine (15 μg/ml; 72 hours) primarily induces cell death [3]. In a dose- and time-dependent way, solamargine (72 hours) strongly suppressed the growth of HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells. 9.21 and 19.88 μg/ml, respectively, are the IC50 values[3].
Solamargine exhibited non-selective cytotoxicity against various cell lines, with an IC₅₀ of 15.62 μg/mL against SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. [1]
Solamargine showed dose-dependent P-glycoprotein inhibition (9.1-fold at 100 μg/mL) against SH-SY5Y cells, and its combination with doxorubicin produced additive effects on SH-SY5Y cells. [1]
Solamargine reduced HepG2 cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner; at 7.5 μM, it decreased cell viability by less than 20%, and significantly inhibited migration (more than 70% reduction at the highest dose) and invasion (more than 72% reduction at the highest dose) of HepG2 cells. [2]
Solamargine down-regulated the expression and activity of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in HepG2 cells, as demonstrated by Western blotting and gelatin zymography. [2]
Solamargine significantly inhibited the growth of SMMC-7721 and HepG2 hepatoma cells, induced cell apoptosis, caused G2/M phase cell cycle arrest, and up-regulated caspase-3 expression. [3]
Solamargine suppressed the viability of five gastric cancer (GC) cell lines (AGS, BGC823, SGC7901, HGC27, MGC803) in a dose-dependent manner (concentrations: 0, 2.5, 5, 10 μM) and induced notable morphological changes. [4]
Solamargine promoted apoptosis of GC cells (SGC7901, HGC27, BGC823) at concentrations of 7.5 or 10 μM (treatment duration: 12, 24, 16, 48 h), enhanced cleavage of caspase-7 and PARP, and affected cell cycle distribution. [4]
Solamargine inhibited phosphorylation of Erk1/2 MAPK, increased the expression of lncPINT and lncNEAT1_2 in GC cells (concentrations: 0, 5, 10 μM; treatment duration: 24, 48 h); knockdown of lncNEAT1_2 attenuated its inhibitory effect on GC cells. [4]
Solamargine exhibited antitumor activity in primary GC cells from patients, with detectable IC₅₀ values after 72 h of treatment. [4]
ln Vivo
In vivo, solanargine (10 mg/kg; gavage; once daily for 8 days) induces GC apoptosis and has anti-tumor actions [4].
In a xenograft mouse model of gastric cancer, Solamargine significantly suppressed tumor growth (P<0.05). [4]
Solamargine induced apoptosis of cancer cells in tumor tissue of xenograft mice, as confirmed by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) and H&E staining (P<0.05). [4]
Enzyme Assay
Gelatin zymography assay for MMP-2 and MMP-9 activity: HepG2 cells were treated with Solamargine, and cell lysates were prepared. The samples were subjected to gelatin zymography to separate MMP-2 and MMP-9, followed by incubation and staining to analyze their enzymatic activity. [2]
Cell Assay
Cell viability assay [3]
Cell Types: SMMC-7721 Cell
Tested Concentrations: 15 μg/ml
Incubation Duration: 72 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: demonstrated a significant increase in sub-G1.
Sulforhodamine B assay for cytotoxicity: Cancerous and non-cancerous cell lines (including SH-SY5Y) were treated with Solamargine at different concentrations, and the sulforhodamine B assay was performed to assess cell viability and calculate IC₅₀ values. [1]
Rhodamine-123 assay for P-glycoprotein inhibition: SH-SY5Y cells were treated with Solamargine at various concentrations, and rhodamine-123 was used to evaluate the inhibitory effect on P-glycoprotein. [1]
MTT assay for cell viability: HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells were treated with Solamargine, and the MTT assay was conducted to measure cell viability and determine the concentration-dependent effect. [2][3]
Wound healing migration assay: HepG2 cells were treated with Solamargine, and a scratch was made on the cell monolayer. The migration of cells into the scratch area was observed and quantified to assess migration ability. [2]
Boyden chamber invasion assay: HepG2 cells were seeded in the upper chamber of Boyden chambers with Solamargine treatment, and the number of cells invading through the membrane to the lower chamber was counted to evaluate invasion ability. [2]
Western blotting assay: HepG2, SMMC-7721, and GC cells were treated with Solamargine, and cell lysates were prepared. Proteins (MMP-2, MMP-9, caspase-3, caspase-7, PARP, cleaved PARP, cleaved caspase-7, Erk1/2, pErk1/2) were separated by electrophoresis, transferred to membranes, and detected with specific antibodies to analyze their expression levels. [2][3][4]
Flow cytometry assay: SMMC-7721 cells were treated with Solamargine, and cell cycle distribution was analyzed by PI staining; GC cells were stained with Annexin V-FITC/PI to detect apoptosis rate via flow cytometry. [3][4]
Colorimetric assay for caspase-3 expression: SMMC-7721 cells were treated with Solamargine, and a colorimetric assay was used to measure the expression level of caspase-3. [3]
IncuCyte ZOOM Live-Cell Analysis: GC cells were treated with Solamargine at different concentrations, and cell viability was monitored every 8 h using the IncuCyte ZOOM Live-Cell Analysis System to calculate IC₅₀ values. [4]
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Female specific pathogen-free BALB/c nude mice, weighing 18-20 g (6-8 weeks old) [4]
Doses: 10 mg/kg
Route of Administration: gavage; one time/day for 8 days
Experimental Results: Tumor Growth was Dramatically inhibited.
Xenograft mouse model of gastric cancer: Mice were implanted with gastric cancer cells to establish the xenograft model. Solamargine was administered to the model mice. After the experiment, mice were sacrificed, tumors were collected, and tumor growth was measured. TUNEL staining and H&E staining were performed on tumor tissue to detect cell apoptosis and necrotic areas. [4]
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Solanine exhibits non-selective cytotoxicity, which may hinder drug development; P-glycoprotein inhibitory activity is only present at concentrations above the cytotoxic induction level. [1]

Additional Infomation
Solamargine is an azaspirocyclic compound, a steroidal compound, and an oxaspirocyclic compound. Solamargine has been used in research trials for the treatment of actinic keratosis. Solamargine has been reported to be found in Solanum carolinense, Solanum pittosporifolium, and other organisms with relevant data. Solamargine is a bioactive steroidal alkaloid glycoside isolated from Solanum aculeastrum (fruit) and Solanum nigrum L. [1][3] Solamargine exerts its anticancer effects through a variety of mechanisms, including inducing apoptosis, inhibiting cell migration and invasion, regulating the cell cycle, downregulating the expression and activity of MMPs, regulating the MAPK signaling pathway, and regulating the expression of lncRNAs (lncNEAT1_2, lncPINT). [2][3][4] Black nightshade (Solanum nigrum L.) is a traditional Chinese medicine with diuretic, antipyretic and hepatoprotective effects, and is widely used in folk anticancer prescriptions in China. [3] Solamargine is a derivative of solanine, a steroidal compound found in plants of the Solanum genus. Its role in gastric cancer has been elucidated, namely, inhibiting tumor progression by regulating lncNEAT1_2 through the MAPK pathway. [4]
