Description

15,18-Dihydroxyabieta-8,11,13-trien-7-one is a functionalized diterpenoid derivative of abietic acid, a key resin acid found in pine rosin. This compound is valued for its complex polycyclic structure, which serves as a versatile synthetic intermediate and a scaffold for developing novel bioactive molecules. It is primarily sought by research and development laboratories in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical sectors for applications in medicinal chemistry, material science, and as a standard for analytical purposes.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral building block for the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those targeting inflammation, infection, or metabolic disorders.
• Medicinal Chemistry Research: Used as a core scaffold for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies and library synthesis in drug discovery programs.
• Agrochemical Development: Investigated as a precursor for creating new plant protection agents or biopesticides with novel modes of action.
• Chemical Standard: Employed as a high-purity reference standard in analytical laboratories for method development, calibration, and quality control of related natural products.
• Material Science: Explored as a monomer or modifier for creating specialized polymers, resins, or coatings with unique properties derived from its rigid diterpene backbone.
• Academic & Institutional Research: Utilized in universities and research institutes for studies in organic synthesis, natural product chemistry, and chemical biology.

Quality Control

Our 15,18-Dihydroxyabieta-8,11,13-trien-7-one is produced under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR, MS) for structural confirmation. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect stability and handling properties.
