Aristolochic acids are a family of carcinogenic, mutagenic, and nephrotoxic compounds commonly found in the Aristolochiaceae family of plants, including Aristolochia and Asarum, which are commonly used in Chinese herbal medicine.[1] Aristolochic acid I is the most abundant of the aristolochic acids and is found in almost all Aristolochia species.[2] Aristolochic acids are often accompanied by aristolactams.[3]

Aristolochic acids may be a causative agent in Balkan nephropathy.[4][5] Exposure to aristolochic acid is associated with a high incidence of uroepithelial tumorigenesis.[6]

Aristolochic acids are slightly soluble in water, have a melting point between 281 and 286 degrees celsius,[7] and have a bitter flavor.[8]
