Anti-Inflammatory Saponins From an Edible Aquatic Plant Nymphoides hydrophylla.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The present investigation of Nymphoides hydrophylla is a Taiwan indigenous edible aquatic plant, belongs to the Menyanthaceae family, and has been used as a traditional food with potential medicinal values against fever, insect bites, ulcer, and skin diseases. Interestingly, we found that the plant extract showed a significant anti-inflammatory effect.

Objectives

The aim is isolation, structure elucidation, and anti-inflammatory evaluation of secondary metabolites from N. hydrophylla.

Material and methods

This study involves the bioactive isolation and structural studies of the pure compounds determined by NMR, UV, IR spectroscopies, and HRMS. The anti-inflammatory activity of the pure compounds was evaluated in vitro. In addition, isolates showed remarka
