General description

Dehydroabietic acid (DHA or DAA) is a bioactive phytochemical, diterpenoid found in various Pinus species. It is a resin acid and a derivative of abietic acid (AA).

Application

Dehydroabietic acid has been used as a reference standard:
  • to study the aging process of Pinus resins using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)
  • to study the composition changes in Pinus genus with aging using Raman spectroscopy complemented with infrared spectroscopy
  • to estimate resistance against biotic stress as proxy in chemical defenses in Pinus halepensis

Biochem/physiol Actions

Dehydroabietic acid (DHA) exerts various biological activities such as anti-cancer, anti-aging, antimicrobial, antiulcer, gastroprotective, and cytotoxic activities. It is a potent anti-inflammatory agent and a dual activator of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors alpha and gamma (PPAR α/γ). DHA has an anti-aging effect and a sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) activating compound. It has antibacterial properties against multidrug-resistant strains. dehydroabietic acid and its derivatives have gastroprotective and cytotoxic effects.
