Abstract

Abstract Aristolochic acid (I) was present in single samples of A. longa and A. indica, in two samples of A. serpentaria, and four samples of A. reticulata. Aristo-red (II) was present only in the samples of A. reticulata and A. serpentaria. Contrary to numerous reports of alkaloids in Aristolochia species, the current investigation has revealed the presence of only negligible amounts in the samples of A. indica, A. longa, A. reticulata and A. serpentaria examined. A flavone isolated from A. reticulata has been identified as isorhamnetin.
