Plants contain many secondary metabolites; polyacetylenes are example of such metabolites. Polyacetylenic compounds are synthesized in plants in response to different stresses and play important role in plant "self-defense" against insects, fungi andother microorganisms. In our recent studies we investigated a novel polyacetylenic compound 1 reduced cell growth and induced granulocytic differentiation in HL-60 cell lines.
