1. Oxidative stress : Plant part used: Fruit. Documented pharmacological profile: Acide ascorbique-like.
   Selon Mbah OH (2017) : Conclusion: The SM fruit contains the studied phytochemicals & vitamins while the ethanol extract of the fruit could significantly mitigate MSG-induced oxidative stress in the rats. The heightened search for underutilized plant-sourced food necessitated this study aimed at determining some phytochemicals & vitamins in Solanum melongena Linn fruit & the influence of the ethanol extract of the sample on MSG–induced oxidative stress. Selon Lo Scalzo R (2010) : These results showed that the thermal treatment commonly used before consumption can increase the content & biological activity of antioxidant compounds of SM,.
2. Cancer : Plant part used: Seed.
   Selon Yamorhammadi F (2021) : According to these studies, SM can control diabetes through the anti-oxidative properties and inhibition of α-amylase & α-glucosidase activity. SM may have shown protective effects on hyperlipidemia & obesity via the induction of lipoprotein lipase activity & the reduction of pancreatic lipase activity. Selon Lee YM (2001) : Immunologic anaphylactic reaction was generated by sensitizing the skin with anti-dinitrophenyl (DNP) IgE followed 48 h later with an injection of antigen.
3. Inflammatory conditions : Plant part used: Shaft.
   Selon Im K (2016) : In order to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of SM stalk, an ethanol extract of the stalk was prepared, & fractionated into hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, & water fractions. The data suggest that S.M stalk possesses pharmacological activity & might be useful for development of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory agents, or dietary supplements. Selon Dadi JF (2013) : Anti-inflammatory activity of the petroleum ether, chloroform, Aqueous & methanol extracts of the root of Solanum melongena was studied in Wistar rats using the carrageenan induced left hind paw edema.
