Solasodine is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry as a key intermediate in the synthesis of steroid hormones. It serves as a starting material for the production of corticosteroids, sex hormones, and other bioactive steroids due to its structural similarity to human steroid precursors. Its application in hormone synthesis makes it valuable in manufacturing contraceptives, anti-inflammatory drugs, and hormone replacement therapies. Additionally, solasodine has shown potential in anticancer research, with studies indicating it may inhibit tumor cell growth and induce apoptosis in certain cancer types. It is also explored for use in topical formulations for treating skin conditions and warts, including in some experimental treatments for skin cancers and precancerous lesions.
