The purpose of this study is to provide information about the Chemical composition of the leaves, flowers, and fruits Solanum nigrum L., a plant that is native to Palestine and is a member of the Solanaceae family.
Several kinds of particular chemical reactions were used in the chemical analysis of different extracts from fruits, flowers, and leaves to look for physiologically active chemicals. From the results of the analytical analysis of physiologically active substances derived from members of the widely distributed Solanum nigrum L. plant in Palestine, showed presence the following active components for the first time: alkaloids, amino acids, coumarins, flavonoids, phenol compounds, tannins, and other active chemicals.
