Product Description
Solanidine is a cholestane alkaloid extracted from several potato species like Solanum tuberosum and Solanum solanum. Solanidine inhibits proliferation and displays significant anti-tumor activities.
Solasodine (CAS 80-78-4), also known as solanidine, is a steroidal cholestane alkaloid extracted from several potato species including Solanum tuberosum. It belongs to the 3β-hydroxy-Δ5-steroid and solanidine-5-en-3-ol class of compounds and functions as both a plant metabolite and a toxin. Solasodine inhibits proliferation and displays significant anti-tumor activities across various human tumor cell lines. It has been reported to be found in Veratrum taliense and several other organisms. The compound exhibits growth inhibition activity with GI50 values ranging from 10 μM against various cancer cell lines.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Solasodine targets multiple cellular pathways involved in cancer progression and inflammation. It decreases RAD51 expression while increasing γH2AX and p53 levels, indicating its role in DNA damage response and cell cycle regulation. The compound has been found to inhibit the activity of the ABCB1 transporter, which is responsible for the efflux of chemotherapeutic agents from cancer cells. In the context of inflammation, solasodine demonstrates anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory mediators and suppressing key signaling pathways including NF-κB, ERK1/2, Akt, and STAT1. It also exhibits anti-tumor effects on LLC tumors and lung cancer models.
ln Vitro
In vitro, solasodine exhibits potent antiproliferative activity across various human tumor cell lines, including HT-29 colon cancer and HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cells, with GI50 values in the low micromolar range. The compound induces DNA damage as evidenced by increased γH2AX foci formation and decreased RAD51 expression. It promotes p53 activation, leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in cancer cells. Solasodine has also been shown to reduce neovascularization, suggesting anti-angiogenic properties. Interestingly, the compound promotes breast cancer cell proliferation in certain contexts, indicating cell-type specific effects. Its ability to inhibit ABCB1 transporter activity may enhance the efficacy of co-administered chemotherapeutic agents.
ln Vivo
In vivo studies have demonstrated the anti-tumor efficacy of solasodine in animal models. The compound exhibits anti-tumor effects on Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) tumors and lung cancer xenografts. Oral administration of solasodine has been shown to be effective, indicating good oral bioavailability. In tumor-bearing mice, treatment with solasodine resulted in reduced tumor growth and increased survival rates. The compound's ability to modulate RAD51 and p53 expression contributes to its in vivo anti-tumor activity. Additionally, solasodine's anti-inflammatory effects may contribute to its overall therapeutic efficacy in cancer models by reducing tumor-associated inflammation.
Enzyme Assay
For in vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays, solasodine can be evaluated using cell-free systems to assess its interactions with molecular targets. Binding studies may employ purified proteins such as RAD51, p53, or ABCB1 transporter to measure direct compound-protein interactions using techniques like surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or fluorescence polarization. Enzyme inhibition assays can be performed to evaluate the compound's effect on specific kinases or transporters. IC50 values for target inhibition are determined through dose-response curves using appropriate substrates. These cell-free assays help elucidate the primary molecular targets of solasodine and provide mechanistic insights into its anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities without cellular interference.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for solasodine typically utilize human tumor cell lines such as HT-29 (colon), HepG2 (liver), and LLC (lung cancer) cells. Cells are cultured in standard media and treated with solasodine at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 100 μM for 24-72 hours. Cell proliferation is assessed using MTT or SRB assays to determine GI50 values. Apoptosis is evaluated through Annexin V/PI staining, caspase activity assays, and DNA fragmentation analysis. Western blotting is performed to detect changes in RAD51, γH2AX, p53, and other signaling proteins. Transporter activity assays using fluorescent substrates can measure ABCB1 inhibition. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and mitochondrial membrane potential changes can also be monitored to assess the compound's effects on cellular metabolism.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments with solasodine are conducted using mouse models of cancer. For LLC tumor studies, immunocompetent mice are inoculated subcutaneously with Lewis lung carcinoma cells. After tumor establishment, solasodine is administered orally or intraperitoneally at various doses. Tumor volume is measured regularly using calipers, and tumor weights are recorded at study endpoint. For lung cancer xenograft models, immunodeficient mice are used with human lung cancer cell lines. Endpoint analyses include immunohistochemistry for RAD51, γH2AX, and p53 expression in tumor tissues. Blood samples may be collected for pharmacokinetic analysis. Body weight and general health of animals are monitored throughout the study to assess toxicity.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of solasodine have been partially characterized. The compound is orally active, indicating good absorption following oral administration. As a steroidal alkaloid with a logP of 5.592, solasodine exhibits high lipophilicity, which facilitates tissue distribution but may limit aqueous solubility. The compound is metabolized in the liver and eliminated primarily via biliary excretion. Its half-life and bioavailability are influenced by the route of administration and formulation. Detailed PK parameters such as Cmax, Tmax, AUC, and protein binding are not extensively documented, and researchers often refer to general steroidal alkaloid pharmacokinetic profiles. The compound's physicochemical properties include a melting point of 212-214°C and a boiling point of 503.1°C.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Solasodine exhibits a dual profile as both a potential therapeutic agent and a toxin. As a steroidal glycoalkaloid metabolite, it has been associated with teratogenic activities. The compound's toxicity is dose-dependent and may affect multiple organ systems. At high concentrations, solasodine can disrupt cell membranes and interfere with normal cellular functions. Its ability to promote breast cancer cell proliferation in some contexts raises concerns about cell-type specific effects and potential safety risks. The compound's anti-tumor effects on LLC tumors and lung cancer must be balanced against its toxicological profile. Solasodine is strictly for research use only and not intended for human therapeutic applications. Researchers should exercise caution when handling this compound and follow appropriate safety protocols.

Additional Infomation
Solanidine is a steroidal alkaloid belonging to the 3β-hydroxy-Δ5-steroid and solanidine-5-en-3-ol class of compounds. It is both a plant metabolite and a toxin. It is the conjugate base of solanidine(1+). Solanidine has been reported to be found in Veratrum taliense, potato (Solanum tuberosum), and several other organisms with relevant data.
Beyond its primary anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities, solasodine serves as a valuable tool for studying DNA damage repair mechanisms through its modulation of RAD51 and p53. The compound's ability to inhibit ABCB1 transporter activity makes it useful for investigating multidrug resistance mechanisms in cancer cells. Solasodine can be employed to study the interplay between inflammation and cancer, as it suppresses multiple inflammatory signaling pathways including NF-κB, ERK1/2, Akt, and STAT1. Its anti-angiogenic properties provide opportunities for research into tumor vascularization. The compound is also relevant for studies on plant metabolism and natural product chemistry, as it is a major alkaloid found in potato species.
