α-Solanine（Cat No.:I015172）is a glycoalkaloid toxin primarily found in plants of the Solanum genus, including potatoes, tomatoes, and eggplants. It is a naturally occurring compound that acts as a defense mechanism against herbivores. Ingesting high levels of α-solanine can be toxic to humans and animals, leading to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and neurological disturbances. The compound interferes with cell membranes and disrupts acetylcholine neurotransmission. However, in small amounts, typically found in properly stored and prepared foods, α-solanine poses minimal health risks. Its toxicity has led to guidelines for safe consumption of solanine-containing foods.
