Six acetylenic compounds were isolated from the leaves of Artemisia lactiflora (Compositae), an edible plant of Thailand. Four of them were identified as the stereoisomers of 3,4-epoxy-2-(2,4-hexadiynylidene)-1,6-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane and its derivatives, whose planar structures have already been reported. The other two were identified as novel chlorohydrin derivatives of the corresponding diacetylene spiroketal enol ethers. The inhibitory effects of the polyacetylenes isolated in the present study together with genistein on TPA-induced O2- generation were examined. It was revealed that an acyloxyl group at the C-2 position enhanced the inhibitory effect, while the absolute configurations at C-5, -6, and -7 were not important. While polyacetylenes are known to possess several biological roles in various ecosystems, we first found inhibitory effects of the diacetylenes on TPA-induced O2- generation in differentiated HL-60 cells.
