星状睡莲(SYN.Nymphaea nouchali Burman f.)睡莲科(Nymphaeaceae)是一种重要而著名的药用植物，广泛用于阿育吠陀和悉达的药物体系中，用于治疗糖尿病、炎症、肝脏疾病、泌尿系统疾病、月经过多、失经、月经问题、作为壮阳药和苦补。在传统用法和实验观察之间似乎是一致的，例如，保护肝脏、抗炎，特别是抗糖尿病活性。睡莲醇是一种从花中分离出来的类固醇，已被科学证明是传统上声称的抗糖尿病活性的罪魁祸首；它逆转了受损的内分泌组织，并刺激β细胞分泌胰岛素。然而，考虑到其传统用途的规模，进行的研究仍然可以忽略不计。本文试图为睡莲的药用前景提供参考。
Nymphaea stellata Willd. (Syn. Nymphaea nouchali Burman f.) (Nymphaeaceae) is an important and well-known medicinal plant, widely used in the Ayurveda and Siddha systems of medicines for the treatment of diabetes, inflammation, liver disorders, urinary disorders, menorrhagia, blenorrhagia, menstruation problem, as an aphrodisiac, and as a bitter tonic. There seems to be an agreement between the traditional use and experimental observations, such as, hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and particularly antidiabetic activity. Nymphayol, a steroid isolated from the flowers has been scientifically proved to be responsible for the traditionally claimed antidiabetic activity; it reverses the damaged endocrine tissue and stimulates secretion of insulin in the β-cells. However, taking into account the magnitude of its traditional uses, the studies conducted are still negligible. This review is an attempt to provide the pharmaceutical prospective of Nymphaea stellata.
