Solanum lyratum

Solanum lyratum

Solanum lyratum is a plant traditionally used with limited recorded practices. Scientific studies have shown significant anti-inflammatory activity, with compound 4 isolating at low concentrations. The metal-free bio-nanozyme derived from S. lyratum demonstrated synergistic tumor therapeutic effects through cascaded enzyme-like activities and photothermal enhancement. Additionally, Baiying Juhua Decoction containing S. lyratum steroidal alkaloids was found to inhibit non-small cell lung cancer progression via anti-angiogenic mechanisms and showed dual-targeted blocking effects on the IL-17A/STAT3 axis in HaCaT cells, potentially supporting its use for psoriasis treatment. No major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded thus far.
