“…Aristolochias species exist in various parts of the world; however, some species have been identified in Mexico: A. buntingii Pfeifer, A. tresmariae Ferris, A. pacifica Santana Mich. & Paizanni, A. savannoidea Paizanni & M. Ramírez, A. tuitensis Santana Mich. & Paizanni, A. manantlanensis Santana Mich., A. malacophylla Standl., A. odoratissima L., A. styloglossa Pfeifer, A. foetida Kunth, A. tequilana S. Watson, A. luzmariana Santana Mich. and A. emiliae Santana Mich. & Solís for which there are no phytochemical or biological studies showing the presence of active compounds [10][11][12]. Other species such as A. cardiantha Pfeifer, A. flexuosa Duch., A. glossa Pfeifer, A. malacophylla Standl., A. mutabilis Pfeifer, A. mycteria Pfeifer, and A. tentaculata O. C. Schmidt, have also been identified in the state of Michoacán, in localities near the Bajío area, in Mexico [13][14][15]. Some of the species of the genus Aristolochia are characterized by having compounds such as aristolochic acids that are attributed to adverse health effects.…”

Different ethnomedicinal studies have investigated the relationship between various phytochemicals as well as organic extracts and their bioactive aspects. Studies on biological effects are attributed to secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, phenolic compounds, and terpenes. Since there have been no reviews in the literature on the traditional, phytochemical, and ethnomedicinal uses of the genus Aristolochia so far, this article systematically reviews 141 published studies that analyze the associations between secondary metabolites present in organic extracts and their beneficial effects. Most studies found associations between individual secondary metabolites and beneficial effects such as anticancer activity, antibacterial, antioxidant activity, snake anti-venom and anti-inflammatory activity. The aim of this review was to analyze studies carried out in the period 2005–2021 to update the existing knowledge on different species of the genus Aristolochia for ethnomedicinal uses, as well as pharmacological aspects and therapeutic uses.
