Nelumbo nucifera flower oil, collected by stream distillation, contained mainly pentadecane (), a-terpineol () From the ethanol extracts of Nelumbo nucifera leaves dried powders were isolated and by various spectral methods structurally elucidated four compounds: didecylamine, b-sitosterol, hexadecanamide and nuciferine. Nuciferine, a main aporphine-type alkaloid of Nelumbo nucifera, showed some activities towards , , , and (IC50> 128 mg/ml). | Studying chemical constituents of Nelumbo nucifera plants, cultivated in HaNoi
