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

The pharmacology of the large-conductance K(+) (BK) channel in human osteoblasts is not well defined, and its role in bone is speculative. Here we assess BK channel properties in MG63 cells and primary human osteoblasts and determine whether pharmacological modulation
