General description

Tomatidine is a glycoalkaloid and an aglycone metabolite of tomatine present in high levels in unripe tomato.

Application

Tomatidine hydrochloride has been used:
  • to evaluate its effect on nasopharyngeal carcinoma using cell proliferation and flow cytometry assay
  • as a negative control in the non-specific inhibition on hedgehog signaling in hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines
  • as a control for cell growth assay and expression studies in pancreatic cancer cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

Potent inhibitor of Staphylococcus aureus small-colony variants typically seen as complications of cystic fibrosis, with little or no effect on normal S. aureus strains. Also shows antiinflammatory activity by indirectly inhibiting iNOS and COX-2 pathways.
Tomatidine induces the anti-oxidant nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and mitophagy, favoring the delay in aging process in C.elegans. It is an inhibitor of muscle atrophy and promotes anabolism in muscle by activating mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). It may be useful for treating skeletal muscle atrophy.

Prolonged tomato consumption can mitigate ultraviolet (UV) light induced sunburn via unknown mechanisms. Dietary carotenoids distributed to skin are hypothesized to protect skin against UV-induced damage, although other phytochemicals may play a role. We hypothesize that tomato consumption would protect
