Abstract
C-13 deisopropylated and/or C-7 oxidized resin acid derivatives were tested against various microorganisms to determine structural features responsibl e for biological activity and to determine the influence of the C-13 isopro pyl group on antimicrobial activity. Test results show that methyl cis and trans 7-oxo-13-deisopropyldehydroabietate and a mixture of both isomers exh ibited activity against fungi and bacteria. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
