Cancer is a major cause of death worldwide, despite advancements in treatment methods, natural products like alpha-solanine are being explored as potential alternative therapies. Alpha-solanine, primarily found in potato peel, shows promising anticancer activity and could offer an effective and cost-efficient source for cancer therapy.
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Despite improvement in existing treatment modalities and addition of new anticancer drugs in the cancer clinic, cancer associated mortalities are continuously increasing. It is therefore, necessary to explore alternative treatment options to reduce the burden of cancer. In recent years, there is growing concern toward the use of natural products for treating cancer because of their ability to target multiple signaling molecules. alpha-solanine is a glycolalkaloid mainly present in potato tuber and Nightshade family plants. It possesses anti-pyretic, anti-diabetic, anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory and antibiotic activities. In recent years, alpha-solanine has been explored for its anticancer activity and showed promising results. Among all sources, potato peel contains adequate concentration of alpha-solanine. Every year, a large volume of potato peel is produced as a waste or sold at low cost. So alpha-solanine can be proved as an effective and cheap source for cancer therapy. The aim of this review is to summarize the recent data on anticancer activity of alpha-solanine and discuss it as a potential lead for cancer therapy.
