Resumen

The Alpha-Solanine is a glycoalkaloid metabolite produced by solanaceae species, important plant food in the human nutrition. This
alpha-solanine is highly toxic to animals and humans and has been indicated as a risk factor for developing congenital malformations.
However, recent studies suggest that alpha-solanine possesses anti-microbial and anti-tumor activities. The aim of this review was to
summarize the main properties of alpha-solanine, its toxicity and teratogenicity in animal models and the main findings reported about anticancer activity against various cancer cell lines in in vitro assays. Key alpha-solanine mechanisms of action are presented alongside arising
interdisciplinary research, connecting agricultural sciences and medicine. Data presented in this review, may assisted in preventing toxic
effects of alpha-solanine and promote research about its potential use in the treatment and management of human cancers.
