Solamargine is the one of major compounds of Solanum lycocarpum- fruit glycoalkaloid extract, and a major steroidal alkaloid glycoside, which is purified from Solanum nigrum L (SNL), a traditional Chinese medicinal herb. It has been shown that solamargine has anti-tumor activity against the several types of cancers. Also as a part of SR-T100 Gel solamargine in the phase II of clinical trial for the treatment of Actinic Keratosis and Bowen's Disease. The precise mechanism of its actions is still undefined, but existed several potential pathways. In case of castration-resistant prostate cancer cells, solamargine inhibits the growth cells through AMPKalpha-mediated inhibition of p65, followed by reduction of MUC1 expression in vitro and in vivo. In case of lung cancer cells solamargine inhibits the growth cells through reduction of EP4 protein expression, followed by increasing ERK1/2 phosphorylation. The inter-correlations between EP4, DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) and c-Jun and feedback regulation of ERK1/2 by c-Jun contribute to the overall responses of solamargine in this process.
