Solanum incanum
African and Middle Eastern thorny nightshade; fruit used externally for skin conditions in traditional medicine.
Solanum incanum, a thorny nightshade from Africa and the Middle East, is traditionally used topically for skin conditions. Its primary modern applications include antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects, attributed to glycoalkaloids such as solanine, khasianine, and tomatine.
The glycoalkaloids (e.g., solanine, tomatine) disrupt fungal and bacterial cell membranes by binding to membrane sterols, leading to cell lysis. Saponins enhance membrane permeability and modulate inflammatory pathways, potentially inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymes, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. These actions collectively provide antifungal, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory benefits when applied topically.
