Pharmacological characterization of Aristolochia clematitis L. growing in the Stavropol Region

The amino acid and elemental composition of birthwort (Aristolochia clematitis L.) plant species occurring in the Stavropol region has been studied. The analyses showed a high content of tyrosine in the above-ground parts and revealed the presence of 25 elements (K, Ca, P, Mg, Al, Fe, Na, Si, Mn, Zn, Cu, Ni, Cr, V, Li, As, Pb, Co, J, Se, Cd, Hg, Be, Sn, Ti), some of which belong to the group of toxic metals. The differentiation of various plant organs with respect to the accumulation of different groups of chemical elements is established.
