Objective: To explore the influence of abietic acid on the autophagy and apoptosis of cardiomyocytes in rats with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Methods: A rat model of AMI was built by ligation of the anterior descending branch of left coronary artery, and a model of hypoxic cardiomyocyte injury was constructed by treating cardiomyocytes with hypoxia. Western blot assay was used to detect the abundance of proteins related to autophagy and apoptosis, MTT assay was used to measure the viability of cardiomyocytes, and the expression level of miR-30a-5p was detected by qRT-PCR. The targeting relationship between miR-30a-5p and GRP78 was determined by double luciferase reporter gene experiment.
Results: After treatment with abietic acid (315mg/kg), the infarct area of AMI rats was noticeably debased, the intensity of cardiomyocyte autophagy was raised and the level of cardiomyocyte apoptosis was decreased. qRT-PCR results showed that abietic acid inhibited the expression of miR-30a-5p. Furthermore, the dual luciferase reporter gene assay demonstrated that miR-30a-5p targets GRP78. It was found that miR-30a-5p mimic could increase the expression of P62, decrease the LC3II/LC3I ratio, promote the expression of BAX, and reduce the expression of anti-apoptotic protein BCL2, while the effect of GRP78 on cardiomyocytes was opposite to that of miR-30a-5p. After the hypoxic myocardial cells were treated with 50 μM abietic acid, the standard of miR-30a-5p decreased and the abundance of GRP78 increased. After the hypoxic myocardial cells were treated with 50 μM abietic acid, the level of miR-30a-5p decreased and the abundance of GRP78 increased.
Conclusion: Abietic acid alleviates the hypoxic injury of cardiomyocytes by adjusting autophagy and apoptosis mediated by miR-30a-5p/GRP78 axis.

"Liquid gold" has been traditionally used for over a century to decorate ceramicware, but its chemical composition has not been thoroughly investigated. One of the keys to successfully characterizing liquid gold, which is a complex mixture, is to distinguish Au-containing products from other chemicals. In this paper, we propose a separation based on the difference in collision cross section, of which chemicals with heavy atoms are relatively smaller than those without in ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS).

Cobalt (II, III) oxide (CoO) has recently gained attention as an alternative anode material to commercial graphite in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its superior safety and large theoretical capacity of about 890 mAh g. However, its practical application is limited by poor electrical conductivity and rapid capacity degradation because of significant volume increases and structural strain during repeated lithiation/delithiation cycles. To address these issues, this work presents a novel approach to synthesizing carbon-composited CoO microspheres (CoO@C), using abietic acid (AA) as a carbon source to increase conductivity and structural stability.

Article Synopsis
- Wound healing is a major focus in healthcare, especially for vulnerable populations; this study explores the healing effects of resin and bark extracts from a plant native to Cyprus in a mouse model.
- Researchers used male SKH-hr2 mice with induced wounds to test hydrogel formulations containing varying concentrations of these plant extracts and assessed their efficacy through several methods, including clinical observations and advanced imaging techniques.
- The findings suggest that the 10% resin formulation was the most effective, with chemical analysis revealing compounds like abietic acid that could explain the positive results, highlighting the need for further study on herbal treatments in wound care.

The asymmetric syntheses of naturally occurring biologically relevant -abietane diterpenoids, (-)-taiwaniaquinone G (), and H () have been reported via a chiral pool strategy starting from commercially available abietic acid. A ring contraction of the middle ring of the [6,6,6]-carbotricyclic abietane diterpenoid core was carried out under the Wolff rearrangement. Finally, the synthesis of (-)-taiwaniaquinone H () was completed via a one-pot CAN-mediated oxidative decarboxylation.
