ABSTRACT
Introduction: The species Solanum monachophyllum Dunal. is a plant belonging to the Solanaceae family, popularly known as “jurubebina”. The identification of new chemical compounds from native or medicinal plants allows obtaining substances capable of inhibiting the development of diseases caused by fungi.Objective: To identify new steroid compounds from the species Solanum monachophyllum Dunal.
Methods: The collection of leaves and fruits was carried out in the urban area and the central region of Porto Velho. After harvesting, they were freshly weighed and kept in the oven for three days at 50ºC. The material went through the process of extracting and obtaining the crude plant extract. Phytochemical tests were performed using Bessa et al. A phytochemical study of the extracts was carried out, achieving the isolation and identification of four steroidal compounds, by means of chromatographic and physical technique.
Results: From leaves and fruits of Solanum monachophyllum Dunal. it was possible to isolate and identify four steroid compounds: Solasodine, Diosgenin, Diene of Diosgenin and Yucagenin, using patterns of steroid alkaloids and sapogenins isolated and identified from other species of Solanum genus. The compounds alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, triterpenes and cardiotonic glycosides were detected in leaves and coumarin derivatives and anthracenes in fruits.
Conclusions: Due to the presence of the chemical compounds found, the species studied can be used in the production of drugs and sex hormones of great therapeutic value.
