15-hydroperoxydehydroabietic acid--a contact allergen in colophony from pinus species.
A new hydroperoxide, 15-hydroperoxydehydroabietic acid (15-HPDA), with contact allergenic properties has been detected in rosin obtained from Pinus species. Detection was facilitated using a synthetic preparation of 15-HPDA for reference purposes. The synthesis and the detection (HPLC and GC) of 15-HPDA in rosin are described. The allergenic activity of 15-HPDA was studied in an experimental sensitization test on guinea-pigs.
