Abstract
The isolation and structural elucidation of aristolochic acid-A and aristolochic acid-D from Omani Aristolochia bracteolata plant is reported. Antioxidant activities of these two natural products were evaluated for their capacity to reduce Mo(VI) to Mo(V). The study revealed that aristolochic acid-D is more active than vitamin C while aristolochic acid-A has activity similar to vitamin C.Keywords
