≥5mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 5 mg of this product to 1 ml of CMC-Na solution, mix evenly to obtain a homogeneous suspension with a final concentration of 5 mg/ml.
* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble.
* Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations.

Biological Activity

Description Abietic acid (Sylvic acid, Abietate, Rosin Acid), an abietane diterpenoid, inhibited soybean 5-lipoxygenase with an IC50 of 29.5 ± 1.29 μM.
Targets
PPARγ 5-lipoxygenase
29.5 μM
In vitro Abietic acid has anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting expression of genes involved in inflammation such as those for tumour necrosis factor-a and cyclooxygenase 2 in lipopolysaccharide-induced macrophages. Abietic acid regulates PPARγ target gene expression in RAW 264.7 macrophages and 3T3L adipocytes. It can be used for regulating lipid Metabolism and atherosclerosis. Abietic acid is a PPARγ ligand and that its anti-inflammatory effect is partly due to the activation of PPARγ in stimulated macrophages. In lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophages, Abietic acid suppresses production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in vitro and in vivo.
In Vivo Abietic acid has an antiobesity effect in mice mediated by the regulation of adipogenesis.
