title: Chemical and pharmacological progress on polyacetylenes isolated from the family apiaceae.
abstract: This review presents an up-to-date survey of natural polyacetylenes isolated from the family Apiaceae, and their biosynthesis and biological activities up to May 2013, with 107 references. A total of 103 polyacetylenes from 72 species of 41 genera of Apiaceae have been isolated so far, among which falcarinol-type polyacetylenes are most widely distributed.
