what is the name of the poison isolated from Duscle garden nightshade?
Solanine Solanine is a glycoalkaloid poison found in species of the nightshade family within the genus "Solanum", such as the potato ("Solanum tuberosum"), the tomato ("Solanum lycopersicum"), and the eggplant ("Solanum melongena"). It can occur naturally in any part of the plant, including the leaves, fruit, and tubers. Solanine has pesticidal properties, and it is one of the plant's natural defenses. Solanine was first isolated in 1820 from the berries of the European black nightshade ("Solanum nigrum"), after which it was named.
Khellin Khellin has been used as an herbal folk medicine, with use in the Mediterranean dating back to Ancient Egypt, to treat a variety of maladies including: renal colic, kidney stones, coronary disease, bronchial asthma, vitiligo, and psoriasis. It is a major constituent of the plant "Ammi visnaga", also known as Bishop's Weed. Once purified, khellin exists as colorless, odorless, bitter-tasting needle-shaped crystals and is classified as a gamma-pyrone, a furanochromone derivative. In the early 20th century, researchers searched for khellin analogs with lower toxicity and better efficacy. A number of drugs were discovered through this research, such as amiodarone and cromolyn sodium, which are used in current medical practice.
