This alkaloid from Solanum dulcamara forms colourless plates when crystallized from MeOH. It is laevorotatory with [α]_D - 50° (c 0.4, CHCI₃). The alkaloid forms the O,N-diformyl derivative which exists as two rotational isomers, the trans with m.p. 222-4°C; [α]²⁰_D - 21.2° (CHCI₃) and the cis isomer with m.p. 202-4°C; [α]²⁰_D - 69.6° (CHCI₃).

Soladulcidine is a steroidal glycoalkaloid extracted from tomato leaves and berries and can induce craniofacial malformations in hamsters.
