Pachymic acid is a natural triterpenoid chemical that can be extracted from the root of various Pinus species, where it is produced by parasitic fungus Wolfiporia extensa (synonym Wolfiporia cocos). The dried sclerotia of the fungus is used as a traditional Chinese medicine, and pachymic acid is one of the major bioactive components of it.
Pachymic acid is known to inhibit the Epstein-Barr virus and to inhibit the snake venom phospholipase A2. It also has antitumor and anti-inflammatory properties.
