Lack of micronucleus induction by ‘Sobatum’ in bone marrow erythrocytes of Swiss mice

The plant Solanum trilobatum is mainly used for asthma, chronic febrile affections and difficult parturition. The active principle (Sobatum) obtained from the petroleum ether extract of the plant was proved as an anticancer agent by in vitro and in vivo experiments.
