Abstract

_Solanum nigrum _is a traditional Chinese bush renowned for its dynamic therapeutic activities in the Indian and Chinese systems of medicine. It is a typical, palatable herbal remedy that belongs to the family Solanaceae. This overview assembles the prospective pharmacological and medicinal significance of the last three decades' accomplishments of scholarly reports from internet sources and publications. According to several literature reviews, _Solanum nigrum_ encompasses a variety of phytochemical compounds that could be isolated and identified using various extraction techniques. The major chemical components of this herb are alkaloids, glycoproteins, polysaccharides, and phenolic compounds with a broad spectrum of pharmacological outcomes such as anticancer, immunostimulant, antibacterial, antidiabetic, antiviral, antiinflammatory, antioxidant, antipyretic, antidiarrheal, cardioprotective, anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-ulcerogenic, hepatoprotective, anti-seizure, anti-larvicidal, anti-allergic, anti-asthmatic, and neuropharmacological efficacy. Recently, scientists and researchers have been searching for potentially biologically active plants due to the increasing toxicity and adverse effects of modern synthetic drugs. As every part of _Solanum nigrum _contains a variety of therapeutically active phytochemicals, it could be a significant source for scientists to conduct further research and discover the proper mechanism for preventing diseases. In conclusion, _Solanum nigrum_ emerges as a valuable resource in the pursuit of alternative therapeutic options.
