Abstract

Asarum heterotropoides f. mandshuricum (Maxim.) Kitag. (AH) is widely used to treat influenza, COVID-19, allergic rhinitis, headache, toothache, rheumatoid arthritis, and peptic ulcer. However, its clinical use is controversial due to the concern of aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN) caused by its component aristolochic acid analogs (AAs).
