The steroidal alkaloid solasonine is isolated from the fruit of Solanum aviculare and Solanum sodomeum [3,4]. The sugar moiety of this alkaloid is equivalent to that of a-solanine, whereas the aglycone is different [5]. The aglycone of solasonine is known as solasodine and possesses an oxo-azaspi-rodecane structure.

Solasodine see a-Solasonine. a-Solasonine, solasonine a Solanum steroid alkaloid occurring in many species of Solanum, e.g. S. sodomeum, S. aviculare, S. laciniatum and X nigrum. It is a glycoalkaloid containing the aglycon, salaso-dine [(22R 25R)-spirosol-5-ene-3p-ol], M, 413.67, m.p. 201 °C, [aJo -107° (CHCI3) and a branched trisaccharide. 

Solasodine, the glycoalkaloid used in production of contraceptives, is obtained from the Australian species Solanum laciniatum and S. aviculare, which are now cultivated in several countries for this purpose (Bradley et al. 1978).
