Cell death mechanism in HepG2 cells after treatment with solasonine, solasodine and solamargine. Cells were exposed to 10 µM of solasonine, solasodine and solamargine for 24 (A) and 48 h (B) and percentages of cells undergoing apoptosis/necrosis were assessed using Annexin-V/FITC-PI staining and compared to control cells (C,D). Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 3); and (*) indicates significantly different from control group at P < 0.05.
