Abstract

Bioassay-directed fractionation of the MeOH extract of Solanum umbelliferum afforded solasodine (1), O-acetylsolasodine (2), and solasodine 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (3). Alkaloids 1 and 2 exhibited significant activity toward DNA repair-deficient yeast mutants, whereas 3 and the synthetic analogues N-acetylsolasodine (4) and N,O-diacetylsolasodine (5) were found to be inactive. Compounds 2 and 3 are new natural products.
