Abstract

Aristolactams, having a phenanthrene chromophore are a small group of compounds mainly found in the Aristolochiaceae together with the aristolochic acids and 4,5-dioxoaporphines. In this report, these three important classes of natural products are reviewed and classified on the basis of their oxygenation pattern. In addition the biological activities of these compounds and their general chemistry are discussed.
