Abstract
Aristolochia longa is a plant belonging to the genus Aristolochia, family Aristolochiaceae, whose rhizomes represent the most important part used in the pharmaceutical field mainly due to its richness in bioactive molecules. Several investigations have shown numerous biological properties including antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-cancer activities. Besides, they also isolated and structure elucidated of many chemical components such as alkaloids, glycosides, phenolic compounds, tannins, flavonoids, terpenoids and saponins. However, Aristolochia longa is still not enough investigated. Therefore, more studies should take place to discover other biological activities of Aristolochia longa, as well as those of other species from the same genus and identify compounds responsible of these activities.
期刊介绍：
Current Chemical Biology aims to publish full-length and mini reviews on exciting new developments at the chemistry-biology interface, covering topics relating to Chemical Synthesis, Science at Chemistry-Biology Interface and Chemical Mechanisms of Biological Systems. Current Chemical Biology covers the following areas: Chemical Synthesis (Syntheses of biologically important macromolecules including proteins, polypeptides, oligonucleotides, oligosaccharides etc.; Asymmetric synthesis; Combinatorial synthesis; Diversity-oriented synthesis; Template-directed synthesis; Biomimetic synthesis; Solid phase biomolecular synthesis; Synthesis of small biomolecules: amino acids, peptides, lipids, carbohydrates and nucleosides; and Natural product synthesis).
