Eichhornia crassipes (Mart) solms is an invasive macrophyte, causing serious problems to the network of irrigation and drainage canals in the Nile Delta region and different places around the world. Plants and hydrophytes (as water hyacinth) have increasingly been shown to provide rich source of natural bioactive compounds with antimicrobial, antitumoral, antiviral, and antioxidant activities. Spectroscopic methods of the separated fractions revealed the presence of different compounds of variable anticancer and antioxidant activities which acted synergistically in the crude extract leading to its greatest activities. Key words: Water hyacinth, chemical composition, biological activities.
