Chemical composition's effect on Solanum nigrum Linn.'s antioxidant capacity and erythrocyte protection: Bioactive components and molecular docking analysis.

ABSTRACT: Oxidative stress has been widely believed to be the mechanism responsible for developing diseases such as arthritis, asthma, dementia, and aging. Solanum nigrum Linn. is a common edible medicinal herb that belongs to the family Solanaceae which has more than 180 chemical components that have so far been discovered. The main bioactive components of these are steroidal saponins, alkaloids, phenols, and polysaccharides. This article presents comparative phytochemical profiling including total phenolic, total flavonoid, alkaloid, proanthocyanidins, tannin, and vitamin C contents of three Algerian S. nigrum samples collected from three different locations in the Algerian desert. Additionally, the potential antioxidant activity of the three samples was assessed by 2,2-diphenyl-1-pi
