Cotylenin A, which has a diterpenoid tricarbocyclic skeleton, has been isolated as a plant growth regulator, has been shown to affect several physiological processes of higher plants and have differentiation‐inducing activity in several myeloid leukaemia cell lines. We examined the effect of cotylenin A on the differentiation of leukaemic cells that were freshly isolated from acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) patients in primary culture. Cotylenin A significantly stimulated both functional and morphological differentiation of leukaemia cells in 9 out of 12 cases. This differentiation‐inducing activity was more potent than those of all‐trans retinoic acid and 1α,25‐dihydroxyvitamin D3 (VD3). Treatment with a combination of cotylenin A and VD3 was more effective than cotylenin A or VD3 alone at inducing the monocytic differentiation of AML cells.
