Nipple fruit
Solanum mammosum
Solanum mammosum, a plant native to regions in Central America, has not been extensively documented in traditional medicine. Scientific studies have shown that extracts from Solanum mammosum and Dioon mejiae did not significantly impact the survival of certain lactic acid bacteria under tested conditions. However, preliminary findings indicate that fruit extract from Solanum mammosum exhibits antifungal activity against Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Candida albicans, with solamargine identified as a key active compound. Additionally, gold and silver nanoparticles derived from this plant demonstrated antiviral activity against Phi6 and PhiX174 bacteriophages. The aqueous leaf extract of Solanum mammosum also displayed antioxidant properties and was used to produce silver nanoparticles, though the latter showed slightly lower activity. No major safety concerns or reported drug interactions have been recorded for this plant.

Was die Wissenschaft sagt
- Solanum mammosum und Dioon mejiae beeinflussten die Überlebenschancen von Streptococcus thermophilus und Lactobacillus bulgaricus unter den getesteten Bedingungen nicht signifikant.
- Der Fruchteinsatz von Solanum mammosum zeigt antifungale Wirkung gegenüber Trichophyton mentagrophytes und Candida albicans, wobei die Solamargin als das Hauptaktive Komponente identifiziert wurde.
- Der wasserlösliche Blattextrakt von Solanum mammosum zeigte antioxidantische Aktivität und wurde verwendet, um silberne Nanopartikel herzustellen mit vergleichbarer, aber geringerer Aktivität.
- Die Studie zeigte, dass Nanopartikel aus Gold und Silber, die aus Solanum mammosum hergestellt wurden, eine antivirale Wirkung gegen Phi6 und Phi6-Surrogatviren zeigen.
- Ein Fruchtextrakt von Solanum mammosum und synthetisierte silberne Nanopartikel zeigten Larvicidalität gegenüber Aedes aegypti-Larven, wobei die SmAgNPs stärker giftig sind.
