The phytochemical analysis and serum lipid profile of male Wistar rats following oral administration of serial extracts of solanum acculeastrum seeds were evaluated and compared. Finely ground Solanum aculeastrum seeds (1000 g) were extracted with hexane, chloroform, benzene, ethylacetate and ethanol respectively using serial exhaustive extraction technique. Male Wistar rats weighing 280 ± 20g were injected with 10 mg/kg body weight of Testosterone Propionate through intraperitoneal route for twenty eight days to induce BPH. The animals were divided into eight (8) groups of six (6) rats each. Group 1 (Normal control) was not induced with BPH and served as normal control, group 2 was induced and not treated and served as BPH control, group 3 (Finasteride control) was induced and received standard drug, finasteride while groups 4 (Hexane extract treated group), 5 (Chloroform extract treated group), 6 (Benzene extract treated group), 7 (Ethylacetate extract treated group) and 8 (Ethanol extract treated group) were induced and treated orally with 300 mg/kg body weight of hexane, chloroform, benzene, ethylacetate and ethanol extracts respectively for twenty eight days. The animals were sacrificed and blood collected through cardiac puncture. Biochemical studies were conducted using standard procedures. Steroids, alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, tannins, cardiac glycosides, coumarins, terpenoids, proteins and reducing sugars were detected. The yield (g/ 100 g) of flavonoids was maximum (11.07), followed by phenols (0.327). TC, TG and VLDL-C levels were not significantly altered except in chloroform extract where significant increase in LDL-C levels was observed. Hexane extract exhibited the best effect compared to the standard drug. These results suggest that all the serial extracts may be safe for use in the management of BPH and support its therapeutic use by the herbalists in treating inflammatory diseases.
