Abstract
Phytochemical investigation of the MeOH extract of the leaves of Nelumbo nucifera resulted in the isolation of five norsesquiterpenes, four flavonoids, two triterpenes and one alkaloid. Their chemical structures were characterized by spectroscopic methods to be (E)-3-hydroxymegastigm-7-en-9-one (1), (3S,5R,6S,7E)- megastigma-7-ene-3,5,6,9-tetrol (2), dendranthemoside B (3), icariside $B_2$ (4), sedumoside $F_1$ (5), luteolin (6), quercetin 3-0-${\beta}$-D-glucuronide (7), quercetin 3-0-${\beta}$-D-glucoside (8), isorhamnetin 3-0-rutinoside (9), alphitolic acid (10), maslinic acid (11), and N-methylasimilobine (12). Norsesquiterpenoids (1-5) and triterpenes (10-11) were isolated for the first time from this plant. Compounds 6 and 10-12 exhibited considerable cytotoxicity against four human cancer cell lines in vitro using a SRB bioassay.
