Abstract

The Solanaceae family consists of 85 genera with more than 2,300 species, distributed throughout the world. The
largest genus is Solanum with approximately 1,500 species, most of which are found in Latin America. 1 Its typical components are steroidal alkaloids, those found in plants in the form of glycosides and which, by acid
or enzymatic hydrolysis, produce steroidal alamines. Solasodine is the most frequent and also the most prevailing,
since it can be chemically transformed into ADP, an obligatory intermediate in obtaining most steroid drugs. In
Cuba, there are more than 30 species of this genus, some with a yield greater than 1.5% of solasodine or diosgenin.
In the present work, the phytochemical study of the roots of Solanum cristalense Amsh., an endemic species that
grows in Sierra Cristal, Santiago de Cuba Province, is exposed.
