Some polyacetylenes were Isolated from the rhizome of Korean red ginseng through re - pealed column chromatogrphy, and identified as 3-hydroxy-1, 9-heptadecadiene-4, 6-diyne (panaxynol), 9, 10-epoxy-3-hydroxy-1-heptadecene-4, 6-diane(panaxydol), 3, 9, 10-trihydroxy-1-heptadecene-4, 6-diyne(panaxytriol), 9, 10-epoxy-3-hydroxy-1, 16-heptadecadiene-4, 6-diyne(ginsenoyne A) and 10-ch1oro-3, 9-dihydroxy-1-heptadecene-4, 6-diane(panaxydol chlorohydrine) by several spectral and chemical methods.

It has been known that ginseng extract contains several polyacetylene components. But we found only two polyacetylene components in the freshly prepared ginseng extract. Long-term preservation of ginseng or ginseng extract produced many artifact polyacetylenes. The ratio of artifact/genuine polyacetylene was determined by TLC-densitometry on long-term preserved ginseng samples. The results indicated that the ratio was increased proportionally with the span of preservation.

An n-hexane extract of the roots of Aralia cordata Thunb. (Araliaceae) was found to show significant in vitro cytotoxic activity against P388D$_{1}$ lymphocytic leukemia cell in culture. Bioactivity-directed fractionation of this extract led to the isolation of four polyacetylenes, falcarindiol (1), dehydrofalcarindiol (2), falcarindiol-8-acetate (3) and dehydrofalcarindiol-8-acetate (4). Cytotoxicity of compounds 1 and 3 was found to be better than that of compounds 2 and 4 when these compounds were tested against eight in vitro tumor cell lines, namely, A549, HCT15, DLD1, MCF7, SKOV3, HL60, K562 and P388D$_{1}$. The fact that the cytotoxicity of compounds 1 and 3 against series of tumor cell lines was much stronger than that of compounds 2 and 4 suggested that the saturated carbon chain at the termial and the hydroxyl group at the C-3 are important for the activities. The requirement for the activity was further confirmed by synthesizing and assaying the acetate derivatives of compounds 1 and 2.

Two major and two minor polyacetylenes were isolated from fresh white Korean ginseng roots. The petroleum ether-ethyl ether fractions containing the polyacetylene compounds were collected through solvent fractionation, partition and silica gel column chromatography. Further separation of polyacetylenic fractions was proceeded by bonded normal phase HPLC utilizing a moderately nonpolar microparticulate column. The low pressure liquid chromatography was used for the semi-preparative separation. The chemical structures of the two major polyacetylenes separated were determined by UV, IR, $^1H$ NMR, $^{13}C$ NMR, mass spectra and elemental analysis. One of them is identified to be heptadeca-1-en-4, 6-diyne-3, 9, 10-triol, a new structure, and the other is heptadeca-1, 9-dien-4, 6-diyn-3-ol, known as panaxynol.
