Solanum torvum Swartz

Methyl caffeate is a phenylpropanoid, antibacterial agent, and Apoptosis-inducing agent. Methyl caffeate can be isolated from the flowers of peach Prunus persica (L.). Methyl caffeate upregulates the expression of pro-apoptotic proteins Bid, Bax and p53, and downregulates the expression of anti-apoptotic protein BCL-2. Methyl caffeate downregulates SASP factors. Methyl caffeate enhances glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Methyl caffeate inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, fungi, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains. Methyl caffeate can be used in studies related to breast cancer, type 2 diabetes, and tuberculosis.

26-Degluco-torvoside H (Compound 4) is a Furostanol glycoside derivative. 26-Degluco-torvoside H forms via hydrolysis of Torvoside H by β-glucosidase from Solanum torvum leaves.

Neochlorogenin is a spirostan-type steroidal saponin aglycone that can be naturally extracted from the dried leaves of Solanum torvum Sw. (Indian nightshade).

Torvoside C (Torvoside K) is a compound found in Solanum torvum with antifungal activity. The ZOIs and MIC values of Torvoside C against the tested fungi (Alternaria brassicicola, Alternaria geophila, Aspergillus flavus, etc.) range from 33.4% to 87.4% and 31.25 to 250 μg/mL, respectively. Additionally, it exhibits a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on the production of mycotoxins aflatoxin B1 and fumonisin B1, which are produced by A. flavus and F. verticillioides, respectively. Torvoside C can be used for research in the field of antifungal infection.

Neochlorogenin 6-O-β-D-quinovopyranoside is a Triterpene product that can be isolated from Solanum torvum.

Solagenin 6-O-β-D-quinovopyranoside is a steroid product that can be isolated from Solanum torvum.

Neochlorogenin6-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→3)-β-D-quinovopyranoside is a natural product.
