The main chemical constituents of the plant are steroidal glycoside alkaloid like solasonine, solasodine, solamargine and also have flavonoids, saponins, minerals etc. The various parts of the plant like root, stem, fruit seeds, and flower are used medicinally. The pharmacological property of a plant depends on the presence of phyto constituents in the plant. As per the literature survey, Solanum viarum is reported for number of pharmacological activities, i.e., antioxidant antipyretic, antimicrobial, antifungal, analgesic, anticancer activity, in the treatment of anaemia etc. This review is aim at summarising the published knowledge of the ethno medicinal use, pharmacognosy, phytochemistry and pharmacological activities of Solanum viarum.
