Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>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.</p> </abstract>
