S. nigrum is found mainly around waste land, old fields, ditches, and roadsides, fence rows, or edges of woods and cultivated land. It is a common plant found in most parts of Europe and the African continent. Sn is a popular plant in part due to its toxic content of Solanine, a glycoalkaloid found in most parts of the plant, with the highest concentrations in the unripened berries. Although it is considered a rich source of one of the most popular plant poisons, it has proven also to be a reservoir of phytochemicals with pharmacological prospects. The aim of this book is to comprehensively put together the literatures consistent with the pharmacological and other medicinal potentials of Sn.
