Neha Tyagi, Santosh Kumar Verma and Ajeet*

Solanum family of plants is a large genus under the family of Solanaceae that includes up to 2,000 species, they specify from food crops, such as the potato and the
tomato, to various ornamentals and medicinal species. Natural phenolic compounds mostly obtained from solanum species and play an important role in antimicrobial and antibacterial and other treatment. Phenolic compounds from solanaceae plants and dietary plants that contains grains, nut, seeds, legumes and fruits include various phenolic acids, flavonoids, tannins, stilbenes, curcuminoids, coumarins, lignans, quinines like (They divided phenolics biolin four groups analyzing individual compounds: hydroxycinnamic acids (chlorogenic, ferulic, caffeic, and p-coumaric), flavonols (quercetine-3-rutinoside, quercetine-3-galactoside, quercetine-3-glucoside and quercetine-3-rhamnoside), flavanols (catechin and epicatechin) and anthocyanins). I also reviewed several of plants they from solanum species exist the antimicrobial activity due to their phenolic compounds.
