Aristolochic acid A is a carcinogenic compound found in Aristolochia and Radix that has commonly been used in traditional Chinese medicine. This compound inhibits phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and decreases GABA-induced release of arachidonic acid and phosphatidylcholine as well as exocytosis in vitro. TEST!!!!!!
