Phytochemical Analysis of Aristolochia gigantea Seeds using GC/MS Molecular Networking

There are 92 species from Aristolochia L. (Aristolochiaceae) distributed in Brazilian lands. These plants are commonly used in folk medicine. The ethanolic extract from the seeds was partitioned into hexane and hydroalcoholic phases, which were fractionated using different chromatographic methods (CC, TLC and HPLC).They were submitted to GC-EI-MS analysis and a GC molecular networking was generated. It resulted in the annotation of 39 known compounds.
