Application

Solanesol from tobacco has been used as a reference standard for the quantification of solanesol from different tobacco leaf samples using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). It has also been used to increase the stability of artificial liposomes to test the mechanical function of ubiquinone-8 (Q8)-mediated membrane stabilization in E. coli under osmotic stress.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Solanesol displays antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and antimicrobial activities. It also exerts anti-cancer properties as a therapeutic carrier by binding together with thiosalicyclic acid (TS) and hyaluronic acid (HA).Solanesol may be an important precursor of the tumorigenic polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons of smoke.

General description

Solanesol is mainly extracted from Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco). It is an aliphatic terpene, polyisoprenoid alcohol. Solanesol can also be found in other solanaceous plants such as tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), potato (Solanum tuberosum), eggplant, bell peppers.This C45 isoprenoid alcohol is the most abundant lipid in tobacco leaves.
