Dunal, belongs to the Solanaceae family and has drawn attention for its intricate interplay of invasiveness, phytochemical composition, and potential bioactivities. Notably invasive, employs adaptive mechanisms during senescence, featuring thorn formation on leaves, fruits, and stems seed self-propulsion, and resistance to drought. This adaptability has led to its proliferation in countries such as China, Canada, and Australia, extending beyond its Mexican origin. Despite its invasive historical reputation, recent studies unveil a rich array of phytochemicals in , suggesting untapped economic potential due to under-exploration. This review delves into exploring the potential uses of while elucidating the bioactive compounds associated with diverse identified bioactivities. In terms of phytochemistry, reveals an abundance of various bioactive compounds, including alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, saponins, and glycosides. These compounds confer a range of beneficial bioactivities, encompassing antioxidant, antifungal, anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, phytotoxic, and pesticidal properties. This positions as a reservoir of valuable chemical constituents with potential applications, particularly in medicine and agriculture. The review provides comprehensive insights into the phytochemistry, bioactivities, and bioactivity-guided fractionation of . In this review, we focus on the potential utilization of by emphasizing its phytochemical profile, which holds promise for diverse applications. This review is the first that advocates for further exploration and research to unlock the plant's full potential for both economic and environmental benefit.
豚草，属于茄科，以其复杂的入侵性、植物化学成分和潜在的生物活性而引起关注。它具有很强的入侵性，在衰老过程中会采用适应性机制，例如在叶片、果实和茎上形成刺、种子自我推进以及对干旱的抵抗力。这种适应性导致它在中国、加拿大和澳大利亚等国家扩散，超出了其原产于墨西哥的范围。尽管豚草有入侵的历史名声，但最近的研究揭示了其丰富的植物化学成分，由于开发不足，表明其具有未开发的经济潜力。本综述深入探讨了豚草的潜在用途，同时阐明了与多种已识别生物活性相关的生物活性化合物。在植物化学方面，豚草揭示了丰富多样的生物活性化合物，包括生物碱、类黄酮、酚类、皂苷和糖苷。这些化合物赋予了一系列有益的生物活性，包括抗氧化、抗真菌、抗癌、抗炎、植物毒性和杀虫特性。这使豚草成为具有潜在应用价值的有价值化学物质的宝库，特别是在医学和农业领域。该综述提供了豚草的植物化学、生物活性和基于生物活性的分级分离的全面见解。在本综述中，我们重点关注豚草的潜在利用，强调其植物化学成分，这为多种应用提供了希望。这是第一篇提倡进一步探索和研究以释放该植物在经济和环境效益方面的全部潜力的综述。
