Extensive fractionation of -hexane extract from the dried powdered-trunks of Pierre ex A.Froehner (Rubiaceae) led to the isolation of a new oleanane-skeleton triterpene, coffecanolic acid (), along with three known analogues sumaresinolic acid (), oleanolic acid (), and 3--acetyloleanolic acid (). The chemical structures were elucidated using FT-IR, 1D and 2D NMR and HR-ESI-MS data analysis. The isolated compounds were assayed for α-glucosidase inhibitory activity by determining their half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC, µM). Compounds - exhibited higher inhibitory activities when compared with acarbose, a positive control. Compound was found to be the most potent molecule against α-glucosidase, with the IC = 83.0 ± 1.2 µM, which improved by 2.5-fold over acarbose (IC = 209.8 ± 0.3 µM) in this assay.[Formula: see text].

An exploration of antibacterial components from the whole plant of Euphorbia humifusa led to the isolation of 14 new triterpenoids, euphohumifusoids A-N (1-7 and 9-15), as well as four known analogues (8 and 16-18). Their structures were elucidated by extensively analysis of the spectroscopic data and X-ray crystallography using Cu Kα radiation. Among them, euphohumifusoid A (1) bears an unique 6(7 → 8)abeo scaffold originated from a D:C-friedo-oleanane skeleton for the first time, euphohumifusoids H and I (9 and 10) possess a rare α,β-unsaturated-γ-lactone chain originated from 25,26,27-trinordammaranes, and euphohumifusoid L (13) is a highly modified 3,4-seco-25,26,27-trinorcycloartane.

Naturally occurring oleanolic acid (OA) possesses a hepatoprotective activity and ability to inhibit proliferation of human hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Both properties might be related to its anti-inflammatory activity. Its low bioavailability justifies the search for more hydrophilic OA derivatives.

Four new triterpenoids, 3β,12β,16β,21β,22-pentahydroxyhopane (), 12β,16β,21β,22-tetrahydroxyhopan-3-one (), 3-oxo-olean-12-ene-28,30-dioic acid (), and 3β-hydroxyoleana-11,13(18)-diene-28,30-dioic acid 30-methyl ester (); 21 new triterpenoid saponins, glinusopposides A-U (-); and 12 known compounds (-) were isolated from the whole plants of . The structures of the new compounds were elucidated based on the analysis of one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry (MS) data. All compounds from the plants were measured for antifungal activities against and .
