Definition
English
:
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
).
