Solanum lycopersicum
American fruit cultivated globally; lycopene among most studied antioxidants for prostate cancer prevention.
Solanum lycopersicum (tomato) is a globally cultivated fruit rich in lycopene, a potent antioxidant studied for prostate cancer prevention and cardiovascular health. Its active compounds include lycopene, beta-carotene, vitamin C, quercetin, and chlorogenic acid, while leaves contain toxic solanine. Evidence supports its role as a dietary source for reducing oxidative stress and chronic disease risk.
Lycopene, a carotenoid, exerts antioxidant effects by quenching singlet oxygen and scavenging free radicals, reducing oxidative damage to DNA and lipids. It modulates cell signaling pathways including NF-κB and Nrf2, influencing inflammation and apoptosis. Beta-carotene and vitamin C further support immune function and collagen synthesis. Quercetin and chlorogenic acid provide additional anti-inflammatory and vasodilatory actions via inhibition of COX-2 and activation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase.
