alpha-solanine

**alpha-solanine** is a naturally occurring steroidal glycoalkaloid found in *Solanum* species such as potato and nightshade. It is best known as a plant toxin rather than an approved therapeutic product. In the provided publication context, alpha-solanine was evaluated **in silico** as a potential anti-Alzheimer's agent based on predicted **acetylcholinesterase inhibitory** activity and stronger docking affinity to acetylcholinesterase than rivastigmine in that computational study. However, there is no clear evidence from the provided source that alpha-solanine is an established pharmaceutical drug, clinically developed medicine, or company-sponsored development candidate for Alzheimer disease; its relevance here is primarily as a bioactive natural product and investigational research compound.
