H. Ono et al., STRUCTURE AND CYTOTOXICITY OF DEHYDROTOMATINE, A MINOR COMPONENT OF TOMATO GLYCOALKALOIDS, Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 45(10), 1997, pp. 3743-3746
The structure of dehydrotomatine was determined as (3 beta,22 -D-gluco
pyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-D-galactopyranoside from the analysis of FAB-MS
, UV, and NMR spectra. Dehydrotomatine exhibited cytotoxicity on anima
l cell lines HepG2, NIH/3T3, and U937 lower than that of tomatine, the
major tomato glycoalkaloid.
