Solasonine is used in research for its potential anticancer properties. It has shown activity against certain tumor cells by inducing apoptosis and inhibiting cell proliferation. Studies explore its role in targeting liver, breast, and colon cancer cells. It also exhibits antimicrobial and antiviral effects, making it of interest for developing new infection-fighting agents. Additionally, solasonine is investigated for its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. Due to its structural similarity to steroid hormones, it serves as a precursor in the synthesis of pharmacologically active compounds. Its natural occurrence in plants supports its study in phytochemical and toxicological research. However, it remains in the research stage, with further studies needed on toxicity and in vivo efficacy.
