Product Description
Abietic acid is a diterpene compound found in rosin that has anti-proliferation, antibacterial and anti-obesity activities. Abietic acid inhibits lipoxygenase activity and may be utilized in study/research of allergic diseases.
Abietic acid (CAS#: 514-10-3) is an abietane-type diterpenoid and the primary resin acid constituent of rosin. It is derived from four isoprene units and has antiproliferative, antibacterial, and anti-obesity properties.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Abietic acid targets multiple pathways. It is a potent inhibitor of testosterone 5α-reductase and lipoxygenase (IC50 = 29.5 ± 1.29 µM). It acts as a PPARα/γ dual activator, an IKKβ inhibitor, and suppresses NF-κB and the MAPK/AP-1 pathway.
ln Vitro
In vitro, abietic acid inhibits soybean 5-lipoxygenase with an IC50 of 29.5 ± 1.29 µM. It acts as a PPARα/γ dual activator to inhibit UVB-induced MMP-1 expression and age-related inflammation. It has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.
ln Vivo
In vivo, abietic acid has anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the expression of genes involved in inflammation such as TNF-α and COX-2 in LPS-induced macrophages. It exhibits a positive effect against liver injury by attenuating inflammation and ferroptosis and shows accelerated wound closure in a mouse model of cutaneous wounds.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for abietic acid typically involve evaluating its inhibitory activity against 5-lipoxygenase or 5α-reductase using enzymatic activity assays. IC50 values are determined by measuring product formation.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cell-based assays, abietic acid is dissolved in DMSO and applied to cultured macrophages or cancer cells at concentrations ranging from 1-100 µM. Effects on cytokine production, cell proliferation, or gene expression are assessed after 24-72 hours of treatment.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies commonly use mouse models of inflammation or wound healing. Abietic acid is administered orally or topically at doses ranging from 1-100 mg/kg. Efficacy is evaluated by measuring inflammatory markers, wound closure, or tissue histopathology.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Abietic acid has a molecular weight of approximately 300 g/mol. It is a diterpene compound found in rosin. It is soluble in organic solvents.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Abietic acid has a favorable safety profile with no significant toxicity reported at research doses. It is a natural compound with a long history of use.

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
