Abies sachalinensis (C.F.Schmidt) Mast, (bark) Spirobiflavonoids (abiesinols). All compounds exhibited potent inhibitory effects on ( )-(iI)-methyl-2-[( )-hydroxyimino]-5-nitro-6-methoxyhex-3-enamide (NOR 1) activation. A spirobiflavonoid showed remarkable anti-tumor-initiating activity in the in vivo two-stage mouse skin carcinogenesis test using peroxynitrite (ONOO PN) as the initiator and 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol- 13-acetate (TPA) as the promoter.

Fibrous components of the fir tree (Abis sachalinensis Fr. Schrri), which are waste material in forestry, were separated from the lignin components by treating with saturated water vapor (about 9 kgf/cm at 179°C) for 1 min [69]. The fibers thus separated were carbonized at either 380 or 900°C for 1 h in a flow of high-purity argon gas, the solid yield being about 31 or 18 mass%, respectively. The appearance of fibers carbonized at 900°C is shown in Figure 4.3. Three kinds of pores... 

The so-called paper factor responsible for insect juvenile hormone (JH) activity of certain American papers has been identified (1966) as the bisabolane methyl ester, (-h)-juvabione (155), a constituent of balsam fir, Abies balsamea (416). As a matter of fact, the acid corresponding to 155, todomatuic acid (156), had been known earlier as a component of bisulfite-treated pulp oil of Abies sachalinensis (399). Juvabione and related compounds possessing JH activity have been isolated from several species of the family Pinaceae, including (-h)-A -dehydrotodomatuic acid (157) and 7-hydroxytodomatuic acid (158) from wood of Cedrus deodara (33).
