Application

Abietic acid can be used as a precursor in the preparation of:       
  • Epoxy and petrochemical curing agents.
  •  Dehydroabietic acid derivatives as potential antitumor, antimycotic, and antiviral agents.

It can also be used as a starting material in the total synthesis of:
  • (−)-triptonide and (−)-triptolide as potent antitumor and immunosuppressant agents       
  • quinone (−)-12-deoxyroyleanone as antileishmanial agent       
  • abietic acid-derived catechol (methyl 11,12-dihydroxyabietate-8,11,13-trien-18-oate, MDTO) as a potential antioxidant agent
