چکیده
The biological activities of natural abietane acids and their derivatives have been reviewed from 1967 to 1992. Antimicrobial, antiulcer, and cardiovascular activities are the most representative for this class of diterpenoids, while others like allergenic, antiallergic, filmogenic, surfactant, antifeedant, etc. activities, which determine several uses of abietane acids, have also been reported.

Abietane Acids: Sources, Biological Activities, and Therapeutic Uses
The main source of abietane acids is cobphony, the distillation residue of pine resins. Directly, or after stabihzation through partial polymerization or dehydrogenation, this product is mainly used in the paints, varnishes, and coatings industries. The acid part of cobphony is composed of abietic acid (15), its equilibrium isomers levopimaric (23), palustric (21), and neoabietic (24) acids, an...
متن کاملSynthetic derivatives of aromatic abietane diterpenoids and their biological activities.
Naturally occurring aromatic abietane diterpenoids (dehydroabietanes) exhibit a wide range of biological activities. A number of synthetic studies aimed at modifying the abietane skeleton in order to obtain new potential chemotherapeutic agents have been reported. In this study, the biological activities of synthetic derivatives of aromatic abietane diterpenoids are reviewed.
