General description
Isopimaric acid, a resin acid produced by conifer trees, is a tricyclic diterpene compound. High levels of isopimaric acid in the hepatocytes of the rainbow trout may impair calcium signalling machinery. Isopimaric acid is a potential big potassium (BK) channel opener.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Potent opener of large conductance calcium activated K+ (BK) channels.

The diterpene isopimaric acid was extracted from the immature cones of Pinus nigra (Arnold) using bioassay-guided fractionation of a crude hexane extract. Isopimaric acid was assayed against multidrug-resistant (MDR) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were
