To explore the biological properties of rosin derivatives, two dehydroabietic acid derivatives N-(5-dehydroabietyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole)-yl-pyridine-2-carboxamide (DTPC) and di-N-(5-dehydroabietyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole)-yl-pyridine-2,6-carboxamide (DDTPC) with 1,3,4-thiadiazole, pyridine and amide moieties were designed and synthesized according to superposition principle of activity group. They interact with calf thymus DNA (CT DNA) via intercalation based on the results of circular dichroism (CD) and fluorescence spectroscopy, DNA denaturation and viscosity studies. Fluorescence and CD spectral experiments indicate that they might be transported and stored by protein like bovine serum albumin (BSA). MTT assay was further carried out to examine their cytotoxicity, they both showed selective cytotoxicity and DTPC exhibited better cytotoxicity. The antiproliferative effect of DTPC toward A431 cell line was stronger than that of clinically used cisplatin and oxaliplatin. In addition, the cytotoxicity of DTPC and DDTPC was closely related with their DNA binding ability.

Oxidative stress is the key cause of the etiopathogenesis of several diseases associated with constipation. This study examined whether the green pine cone can improve the symptoms of constipation based on the antioxidant activities. The changes in the key parameters for the antioxidant activity and laxative effects were examined in the loperamide (Lop)-induced constipation of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats after being treated with the methanol extracts of green pine cone (MPC, unripe fruits of ).

In order to obtain an eco-friendly and multifunctional preservative film, dehydroabietic acid (DHA) modified chitosan (CS) containing wintergreen essential oil (CSDA-WEO) film was developed. CS grafted by DHA was able to increase the deformation capacity of CS film (MCS) by about 12.5 %, and the film made by CSDA containing WEO increased the tensile deformation capacity to 32 %.

Pine needles represent an important fuel source in coniferous forest systems in the western United States. During forest fires, they can be easily ignited and help sustain flame on the ground. In this study, a comprehensive chemical analysis was conducted to examine oxygenated organic compounds (OOCs) present in PM formed from burning dry and moist ponderosa pine needles (PPN) in the presence and absence of fine woody debris (FWD).

Aromatic acids are an integral component of organic acids in the atmosphere, contributing to the formation of climate-altering brown carbon (BrC). To better understand the sources and formation processes of aromatic acids, we collected size-segregated particulate matter samples in urban Beijing from April 2017 to January 2018, which were analyzed using solvent-extraction followed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Phthalic acid (o-PhA) had the greatest average annual concentration, followed by terephthalic acid (p-PhA), 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-OHBA), dehydroabietic acid (DA), syringic acid (SA), 3-hydroxybenzoic acid (3-OHBA), isophthalic acid (m-PhA), and vanillic acid (VA).
