Two compounds, 7α-acetoxy-6β-hydroxyroyleanone (36) <strong>and</strong> coleon U (149) have<br />

shown to have the widest range <strong>of</strong> biological activity with compound 149 always being<br />

more active than compound 36 <strong>and</strong> occasionally having even stronger activity than the<br />

well known drugs used as controls.<br />

Although much has been done on testing the abietanes for biological activity, there are<br />

still many abietanes which have not been tested for any biological or pharmacological<br />

activity. These assays will prove useful in determining the structure-activity relationships<br />

<strong>of</strong> the abietanes.<br />
