What's the difference between decomposition and solanidine?
Decomposition
Definition:
(n.) The act or process of resolving the constituent parts of a compound body or substance into its elementary parts; separation into constituent part; analysis; the decay or dissolution consequent on the removal or alteration of some of the ingredients of a compound; disintegration; as, the decomposition of wood, rocks, etc.
(n.) The state of being reduced into original elements.
(n.) Repeated composition; a combination of compounds.

Solanidine
Definition:
(n.) An alkaloid produced by the decomposition of solanine, as a white crystalline substance having a harsh bitter taste.
Example Sentences:
(1) Solanidine and total alkaloid concentrations in serum and saliva during the summer are given for a group of subjects from the UK and a group from Sweden.
(2) High-pressure liquid chromatography was used to separate the following steroidal alkaloids: tomatidine, solanidine, solasodine, rubijervine, veratramine and jervine.
(3) Gly70 BCHE variants also displayed lower binding as compared with Asp70 BCHE to cholinergic drugs, certain choline esters and solanidine.
(4) Conversely, sprouts of Solanum tuberosum L. (potato) contained 67% of its alkaloids as glycosides, which was freed only upon hydrolysis with the remaining 33% present as free solanidine.
(5) Since these two compounds differ only in the nature of the carbohydrate side chain attached to the 3-OH group of solanidine, the side chain appears to be an important factor in governing teratogenicity.
(6) The presence of the Gly-70 mutation alone was found to render the enzyme resistant to 100 microM solanidine and 5 mM succinylcholine; concentrations sufficient to inhibit the "normal," Asp-70 containing BuChE by over 50%.
(7) The major metabolite appeared to be the aglycone, solanidine.
(8) Measurement of solanidine in body fluid would be expected to establish the real incidence of acute toxicity and help to resolve the question of any chronic toxicity including teratogenicity.
(9) There was a significant correlation between serum solanidine concentration and normal dietary intake of potato by the individual concerned.
(10) The infectivity of herpes simplex virus Type I in tissue culture was inhibited by prior incubation with aqueous suspensions of glycoalkaloids in order of activity alpha-chaconine greater than alpha-tomatine greater than alpha-solasonine but not by the corresponding aglycones, solanidine, tomatidine and solasodine.
(11) When two subjects abstained from potato and its products serum solanidine fell markedly and became minimal after the second week onwards.
(12) The aglycones demissidine, solanidine and solasodine were less toxic than the glycosides alpha-chaconine and alpha-solanine.

(16) The "atypical" allelic variant of human butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) can be characterized by its failure to bind the local anesthetic dibucaine, the muscle relaxant succinylcholine, and the naturally occurring steroidal alkaloid solanidine, all assumed to bind to the charged anionic site component within the normal BuChE enzyme.
(17) Solanidine was detected in some samples, but there were no traces of the mono- or diglycosides.
(18) To assess whether reported toxicities of potato-derived glycoalkaloids could be the result of interactions with cellular DNA, the genotoxic effects of alpha-solanine, alpha-chaconine and solanidine were studied, using the Ames test (Salmonella strains TA98 and TA100), the mouse peripheral blood micronucleus test and the mouse transplacental micronucleus test.
(19) The anomalously narrow margin between the solanidine alkaloid content reported for normal and toxic potatoes might perhaps result from an excessive synthesis by the latter of additional, related steroids, such as sapogenins and saponins, which, by promoting gastrointestinal absorption or other means, might enhance the toxicity of solanidine alkaloid.
(20) Because of similarities in saponin-like activity and structure of solasodine glycoalkaloids to the solanidine glycoalkaloids of potato sprouts, the glycoalkaloids of S. dulcamara and S. eleagnifolium were probably the agents responsible for the lesions observed.
