15-Hydroxy-7-oxodehydroabietic acid is a terpenoid compound derived from natural resins of pine trees, used in biochemical and pharmaceutical research. It exhibits preliminary anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities, making it valuable for studies on skin conditions, autoimmune responses, and chronic inflammatory diseases. Researchers are exploring it as a lead compound and starting material for developing dermatological treatments due to its ability to modulate inflammatory pathways. Additionally, it plays a role in plant defense mechanisms, supporting the development of natural pesticides. The compound shows moderate antioxidant activity, of interest in cosmetic formulations to reduce oxidative stress in skin. It also serves as a chemical standard for analyzing terpenoid extracts from plants.
