Aristolochic acid

6-methoxy-9-nitro-14,16-dioxatetracyclo[8.7.0.0²,⁷.0¹³,¹⁷]heptadeca-1,3,5,7,9,11,13(17)-heptaene-11-carboxylic acid

C17H11NO7 (341.0535496)


Aristolochic acid A is an aristolochic acid that is phenanthrene-1-carboxylic acid that is substituted by a methylenedioxy group at the 3,4 positions, by a methoxy group at position 8, and by a nitro group at position 10. It is the most abundant of the aristolochic acids and is found in almost all Aristolochia (birthworts or pipevines) species. It has been tried in a number of treatments for inflammatory disorders, mainly in Chinese and folk medicine. However, there is concern over their use as aristolochic acid is both carcinogenic and nephrotoxic. It has a role as a nephrotoxin, a carcinogenic agent, a mutagen, a toxin and a metabolite. It is a monocarboxylic acid, a C-nitro compound, a cyclic acetal, an organic heterotetracyclic compound, an aromatic ether and a member of aristolochic acids. Aristolochic acid is a natural product found in Thottea duchartrei, Aristolochia, and other organisms with data available. Aristolochic acids are a family of carcinogenic, mutagenic, and nephrotoxic compounds commonly found in the Aristolochiaceae family of plants, including Aristolochia and Asarum (wild ginger), which are commonly used in Chinese herbal medicine. Aristolochic acid I is the most abundant of the aristolochic acids and is found in almost all Aristolochia species. Aristolochic acids are often accompanied by aristolactams.

Aristolochic acid A significantly reduces both activator protein 1 (AP-1) and NF-κB activities. Aristolochic acid A reduces BLCAP gene expression in human cell lines[1].

(-)-Licarin A is a natural product found in Magnolia dodecapetala, Magnolia kachirachirai, and other organisms with data available. Dehydrodiisoeugenol is a natural product found in Myristica fragrans with data available. Dehydrodiisoeugenol is isolated from Myristica fragrans Houtt, shows anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial actions[1]. Dehydrodiisoeugenol inhibits LPS- stimulated NF-κB activation and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 gene expression in murine macrophages[2].
