Solanum americanum Mill, a known source of solasodina glycosides, was found to be infested by the aphids Aphis fabae solanella Theob. Since these glycosides are potential raw materials for the synthesis of steroidal drugs, it is important to know the effect of infestation on the yield of solasodine glycosides. Plants heavily, moderately and uninfested by the aphids were collected in the field, and the glycoalkaloid content of the stems, leaves, and fruits were determined. It was found that the glycoalkaloid content is dependent on the different parts of the plant and phytosanity of the plant material. The average yield of glycoalkaloids in uninfested plants was always higher than in infested plants, both in the whole plant or in each part of the plant examined. These results cannot assure that the glycoalkaloid content is responsible for the resistance, but that there is a close relationship between glycoalkaloid content and phytosanity of the plant material.
