α-Chaconine is a steroidal glycoalkaloid that occurs in plants of the family Solanaceae. It is a natural toxicant produced in green potatoes and gives the potato a bitter taste.[2] Tubers produce this glycoalkaloid in response to stress, providing the plant with insecticidal and fungicidal properties.[2] It belongs to the chemical family of saponins. Since it causes physiological effects on individual organism, chaconine is considered to be defensive allelochemical.[3] Solanine is a related substance that has similar properties.
