Solanum palinacanthum

Pereira et al. (2008) reported isolation of rutin 30 (Fig. 2.5) from Solanum palinacanthum Dunal (Solanaceae), a perennial herb common in pastures and roadsides in Brazil, where it has been used to treat skin diseases. Rutin showed low antibacterial activity by broth nticrodilution assays, but the MIC value against Aspergillus ochraceus (35 pg/ml) was similar to that of benzalkonium chloride, the only fungicide nsed in Brazil to control such fungus in coffee beans.
