Descriptor ácidos aristolóquicos
Scope note: Nitrofenantrenos que se dan en las ARISTOLOCHIACEAE y otras plantas. Derivan de la stefania (APORFINA) por desdoblamiento oxidativo del anillo. El grupo nitro es un alquilante reactivo (AGENTES ALQUILANTES) que se une a macromoléculas biológicas. La ingestión por humanos se asocia con nefropatía (NEFRITIS). No hay relación con el aristolocheno de similar nombre (SESQUITERPENOS).

Scope note: Nitro-phenanthrenes occurring in ARISTOLOCHIACEAE and other plants. They derive from stephanine (APORPHINES) by oxidative ring cleavage. The nitro group is a reactive alkylator (ALKYLATING AGENTS) that binds to biological macromolecules. Ingestion by humans is associated with nephropathy (NEPHRITIS). There is no relationship to the similar named aristolochene (SESQUITERPENES).
