Nipple fruit

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.
