Standard InChI

InChI=1S/C20H28O2/c1-13(2)14-6-8-16-15(12-14)7-9-17-19(16,3)10-5-11-20(17,4)18(21)22/h6,8,12-13,17H,5,7,9-11H2,1-4H3,(H,21,22)/t17-,19-,20-/m1/s1

Biological Activity

Dehydroabietic acid (DHAA), a major poison to fishes in pulp and paper mill effluents, has toxicological and physiological effects, 20 μg l−1 is close to the “minimum effective concentration” of DHAA to rainbow trout.[1]
Dehydroabietic acid derivatives have been reported to display antisecretory and antipepsin effect in animal models, have gastroprotective activity in the HCl/EtOH-induced gastric lesions in mice as well as for cytotoxicity in human lung fibroblasts (MRC-5) and human epithelial gastric (AGS) cells. [2]
Dehydroabietic acid derivatives have antiulcer activity.[3]
