Masticadienolic acid is a naturally occurring terpenoid compound found in the resin of the mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus), particularly in the variety cultivated on the Greek island of Chios. Chemically, it is a tirucallane-type tetracyclic triterpenoid based on its structural characteristics and biosynthetic origin. It is structurally related strongly to masticadienonic acid, differing by the presence of a hydroxyl group, which may influence its biological activity.
