The hyphenated HPLC-MS technique is an important method used for identifying complex mixtures, especially the phenolics in the crude extracts or the fraction found in the plant, either by using standard compounds (cochromatography) or by comparing mass spectra obtained with the literature (tentative identification) [22]. A chemical characteristic of the order Nymphaeals, which includes the family Nymphaeaceae, is the occurrence of significant amounts of gallic acid and ellagic acid [23]. Ellagitannins attracted considerable attention because of their vast structural diversity and biological activity, including antioxidant, antiviral and antitumor activity [24, 25].

Nymphaea alba is an aquatic flowering plant from the Nymphaeaceae family that has been used for hundreds of years in traditional herbal medicine. The plant is characterized by different phytochemicals, depending on the geographical location. Herein, we have carried out, for the first time, the separation and HPLC-MS/MS identification of some antioxidant compounds, such as polyphenols and flavonoids from N.

Support sclerenchyma is comprised of sclereids and fibers. This tissue reduces wilting, but it is energetically costly for the plant to create. Sclerenchyma matures with the surrounding tissues and provides more permanent support than collenchyma, maintaining the established morphology of the plant.

Hydrolyzable tannins represent a chemotaxonomic marker of the family Nymphaeaceae46 and the predominant class of phytoconstituents in N. alba.20,21 Ellagitannins receive the most attention because it has potent antioxidant and radical scavenging capacity, chemopreventive and antiapoptotic properties.47 Ellagitannins can prevent the liver injury induced by free radicals through different mechanisms, including radical scavenging, metal chelation, and activation of antioxidant defense mechanisms, including SOD and GSH.48

October 7, 2022 - Pharmacologically, the entire plant is known to exhibit antihelmintic (Behera, Mohapatra, & Dash, 2010), immunomodulation (Cheng, Lee, Lien, Lee, & Sheu, 2012), antiinsulin resistance, antihyperglycemic, antidyslipidemic (Gautam et al., 2014, Rahuja et al., 2013), anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, hepatoprotective, and free radical scavenging activity (Daffodil & Mohan, 2014). Phytochemical analysis of N. rubra flowers (NRF) reveals polyphenolic compounds, such as rutin, quercetin, scopoletin, and kaempferol (Gautam et al., 2014). Nymphaea rubra has remained unexplored due to a scarcity of knowledge.
