The purpose of this study was to antibacterial effect of solanum nigrum extra in candida albicans. In this study, the antibacterial effects of 70% methanol extract and solanum nigraum were investigated. The content of flavonoids and polyphenol contents in solanum nigrum extraction. The antimicrobial activity was determined by spectrophotometric growth inhibition assay(optical density) and colony forming untis (CFU) for the candida albicans. Total contents were flavonoids and polyphenols of solanum nigrum, the result was $8.23{\pm}0.13mg/g$ and $14.97{\pm}1.58mg/g$, respectively. The CFU results showed lower CFU counts in the experimental groups compared to the control group. And the result of the bacterial viability was decreased in the experimental group. Therefore the extracts of solanum nigrum were found to have antimicrobial activity in candida albicans. From the these results, solanum nigrum extracts have a possibility to be a candidate for natural antibacterial components in dental products.

In this study, we investigated the variation in free sugars, organic acids, amino acids, antioxidant activity and anti-inflammatory effect of Solanum nigrum Linne fruits according to harvest time. Four kinds of free sugars (fructose, glucose, sucrose, maltose) were detected in S. nigrum fruit, and the free sugar contents varied significantly with harvest time. Organic acid content of S. nigrum fruit showed the highest in malic acid and acetic acid, and the highest content of total organic acids was found in S. nigrum fruit harvested on October $18^{th}$ and October $25^{th}$. For the total polyphenol content, S. nigrum fruit harvested on October $18^{th}$ was the highest. The strongest DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity was showed in S. nigrum fruit harvested on October $11^{th}$ and October $18^{th}$. The anti-inflammatory activity and antioxidant effects were the highest in the ethanol extract from S. nigrum fruit collected on October $18^{th}$ and October $11^{th}$. Thus, it seems the best to harvest of S. nigrum fruit harvested on October $11^{th}$ and October $18^{th}$.

For determining the effect of extracts exudated from ten industrial plant resources on germination and early growth of shoot and root of radish the allelopathic compounds screened. Germination rate and seedling growth of radish differed depending on plant species and extract concentration. Lower levels of 1% extracts exudated from industrial plant resources promoted the rate of germination of radish while higher levels of 10% extract inhibited the rate of germination. Germination rate, shoot growth and root growth of radish in higher concentration of extract also differed depending on the plant species exudated and extract concentraton of industrial plant resources. Higher concentration of extracts from Xanthium strutnarium L. Angellica gigas Nakai, and Solanum nigrum L. were completely inhibited the germination while those from Cichorium intybus L., and Polygonatum officinale Allioni were not inhibited. Extracts exudated from Xanthium strutnarium L, Angellica gigas Nakai, and Solanum nigrum L. showed the strong inhibition of shoot and root growth of radish while those from Cichorium intybus L., and Polygonatum officinale Allioni did not show the bioactivity in shoot and root growth of radish..

In this study, we investigated the variation in free sugars, amino acids, antioxidant activity, and anti-inflammatory activity of Solanum nigrum Linne based on harvest time. Major amino acids identified by HPLC analysis were proline, histidine, and serine. The highest content of total amino acids were found in S. nigrum aerial parts and roots harvested on July 10th and August 10th. Four kinds of free sugars (fructose, glucose, sucrose, maltose) were detected in S. nigrum, and the free sugar content varied significantly with harvest time. The fructose content of S. nigrum decreased with as harvest time increased. The total polyphenol content of S. nigrum was highest in those harvested on August 30th. The antioxidant activity of ethanol extract from S. nigrum collected at different harvest times were measured by DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging assays. The anti-inflammatory activity of these extracts were assayed via nitric oxide suppression in C6 glioma cells with a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory response. The anti-inflammatory activity and antioxidant effects were the highest in the extract from S. nigrum collected on August 30th. Good correlations were observed between antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities in ethanol extract of S. nigrum roots harvested on August 30th.

In this study, the antioxidative effects of 50% ethanol extract, ethylacetate fraction and aglycone fraction obtained from dried whole plant of Solanum nigrum L. were investigated. The free radical scavenging activities ($FSC_{50}$) were $215.46{\mu}g/mL$, $42.43{\mu}g/mL$ and $52.28{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging activities ($OSC_{50}$) in $Fe^{3+}-EDTA/H_2O_2$ system were $25.25{\mu}g/mL$, $7.05{\mu}g/mL$ and $6.25{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. 50% ethanol extract and aglycone fraction showed the cellular protective effect against $^1O_2$ induced cellular damage of rabbit erythrocytes at $5{\sim}25{\mu}g/mL$, but not at high concentrations. These results indicated that S. nigrum extract/fractions could be used as an antioxidative agent. However, it could induce cellular damage at high concentrations. In conclusion, a special caution is required to use S. nigrum extracts as a cosmetic ingredient.

Disease control activities of the methanol extracts from 27 plant species were investigated against six plant diseases such as rice blast, rice sheath blight, tomato gray mold, tomato late blight, wheat leaf rust and barley powdery mildew. The extracts of Humulus japonicus, Hosta longipes, Liriope platyphylla, and Astragalus membranaceus exhibited a great in vivo control activity against rice blast. Similarly, the extracts of Commelina communis and A. membranaceus were highly active on tomato gray mold and barley powdery mildew, respectively. The extracts of H. longipes, L. platyphylla, Solanum nigrum and A. membranaceus showed especially high disease control activity against wheat leaf rust, and then were selected for further tests such as protective, curative, systemic, and lasting activity against wheat leaf rust. The extracts of L. platyphylla and S. nigrum were strong protectant, and that of A. membranaceus possessed both a preventive activity and a curative activity. Systemic disease control by the selected four plant extracts was investigated by examing translaminar activity from leaf-under-surface to leaf-upper-surface and systemic activity by leaf-to-Ieaf movement. All extracts strongly controlled wheat leaf rust by translaminar movement, but hardly controlled the disease by leaf-to-leaf movement. Good lasting activity was also observed against wheat leaf rust from all of the tested extracts. Especially, disease control experiments on wheat seedlings sprayed with the extracts of S. nigrum or H. longipes 7 days prior to inoculation represented control value over 95%. These results suggest that methanol extracts of H. longipes, L. platyphylla, S. nigrum, and A. membranaceus, especially S. nigrum, would potently control wheat leaf rust caused by Puccinia recondita in the fields.

We report a naturalized alien species, Solanum elaeagnifolium Cav. from Chodo Isl., Samsanmeon, Yeosushi, Jeollanam-do province. The native distribution range of the species is the southwestern US and the adjacent region of northern Mexico. The species is related to S. nigrum L., but the species can be distinguished from S. nigrum by the silver green stellate trichome on the surfaces of plants, the elongated leaf shape, and the size and color of the flowers and fruits. Solanum elaeagnifolium Cav. belongs to the Solanum subgenus Leptostemonum. The species is recorded on the invasive species list in the subtropical or temperate regions of many European, Mediterranean, African, South American, Asian, and Australian countries. Therefore, we also need a careful monitoring and prevention strategy for this new invasive species in Korea.
