Blue Lotus
Nymphaea nouchali var. caerulea
Nymphaea nouchali var. caerulea，又称蓝莲花，是一种传统植物，在亚洲和非洲的不同地区都有分布。尽管它在传统医学中的使用没有广泛记录，但因其潜在的治疗特性而引起了注意。科学研究表明，Dioscorea preussii 的根块具有抗氧化和抗溶血活性，而从蓝莲花产品中鉴定出的挥发性化合物包括22种关键香气成分，β-紫罗酮和顺式α-橙花烯被突出显示为可能在香气感知中发挥作用。此外，对Nymphaea nouchali器官的全面代谢物谱分析揭示了与黄酮类、花青素和生物碱（尤其是来自花朵的部分）相关的高抗氧化活性。1997年关于其超级疏水植物表面减少病原体附着的研究激发了大量研究兴趣，但缺乏强有力的临床证据支持其药用价值。迄今为止尚未发现重大安全问题或记录在案的药物相互作用。
