From 'local folklore': harebell remedies must be micro-picked for seed potential if used for eye drops, so make your own only if you have the equipment.
Polyacetylenes have been found in many families of
higher plants, such as the Araliaceae, Campanulaceae, Compositae, Olacaceae,
Pottosporaceae, Santalaceae, and Umbelliferae.
More recently, linear
polyacetylenes have become a major element in the search for bioactive
substances from marine sponges.5-7
It has been reported that these compounds
exhibit potent cytotoxic, antimicrobial, antiviral, RNA-cleaving, sedative, and
enzyme-inhibitory activities, as well as brine-shrimp lethality.
