Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn. cv. Rosa-plena is a perennial aquatic crop grown and consumed throughout Asia. All parts of N. nucifera have been used for various medicinal purposes in oriental medicine. In particular, the leaves are known for diuretic and astringent properties, and are used to treat fever, sweating, and strangury and as a styptic [1]. To further understand the chemotaxonomy of the Nelumbo species [1, 2], Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn. cv. Rosa-plena was chosen for phytochemical investigation. There are no publications reported concerning the chemical components of this plant yet. The compounds derived from the leaves include seven aporphines: (–)-nuciferine (1) [2], (–)-nornuciferine (2) [4], (–)-asimilobine (3) [3], (–)-N-methylasimilobine (4) [3], (–)-caaverine (5) [5], (–)-anonaine (6) [4], and (–)-roemerine (7) [2]; two oxoaporphines: lysicamine (8) [4] and liriodenine (9) [4]; one dioxoaporphine – cepharadione B (10) [6]; one dehydroaporphine – 7-hydroxydehydronuciferine (11) [7]; two steroids: -sitostenone (12) [3] and stigmasta-4,22-dien-3-one (13) [3]; two chlorophyll: pheophytin-a (14) [8] and aristophyll-C (15) [8]. Some of the isolated components from Nelumbo not yet published include (–)-caaverine (5), cepharadione B (10), and 7-hydroxydehydronuciferine (11).
