Solanum linnaeanum, (also known as Apple of Sodom (not to be confused with Calotropis procera), Devil's Apple, Solanum sodomeum and Solanum hermanii) is a species of poisonous plant bearing tomato-like fruit native to South Africa[1] and considered to be an invasive species in Australia,[2] and New Zealand.[3]

Solbec Pharmaceuticals has developed Coramsine®,[4] a 1:1 mixture of solamargine and solasonine, alkaloids extracted from Solanum linnaeanum, that has been tested in patients with advanced solid tumors.[5]
