“…Both solanine and solasonine induce haemolysis (de Lavergne and Kissel, 1935 ;Fischer, 1929 ;Macht, 1933) whilst solanine diminishes blood catalase (Levi, 1936), and inhibits non-specific cholinesterase (Pokrovskii, 1956). Solanine is also active as a mitotic poison (Danneberg and Schmahl, 1953) and has been shown to inhibit the oxygen uptake of mouse ascites tumour cells (Schmitz, 1951).…”
