Solanum xanthocarpum has great potential for the neuroprotective activity due to presence of phenolic substances. Naturally occurring amino acid L-3, 4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) is multi targeting drugs acts as an anti-hypertensive, stimulates human growth hormones, improves motor function at the onset of diseases and psychological disorders though it is not a core protein but can be amalgamated synthetically. The yield obtained depends on tropogeographical region. Structural elucidation and confirmation was evaluated by UV, TLC, LCMS, ESR and ICPAES.
