(solanaceae) afforded a novel steroidal alkaloid with spirosolane-type skeleton, named as caavuranamide, together with the alkaloids 4-tomatiden-3-one and 5¦Á-tomatidan-3-one. their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic methods. the antiproliferative and antimicrobial activities for the ethanolic extract, sub-fractions obtained from partition and acid-base treatment were also evaluated. caavuranamide showed antibacterial activity similar to the chloramphenicol positive control against rhodococcus equi. %K solanum caavurana %K solanaceae %K caavuranamide %K steroidal alkaloids %K spirosolane. %U http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S0103-50532012000200025&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
