Abstract: | Two new 3,4-secotriterpene acids have been isolated in the form of dimethyl esters from the acid fraction of the oleoresin
of the silver firAbies alba Mill. On the basis of spectral characteristics and the results of a chemical correlation with the known triterpenoids methyl
abiesolidate, dimethyl abiesonate and methyl firmanoate it has been established that they are (25R)-3,4-seco-9β-lanosta-4(28),7-dien-23-one-3,26-dioic
acid and (25R)-3,4-seco-abiesa-4(28),7,14(30)-trien-23-one-3,26-dioic acid.
