Two new hydroperoxy pentacyclic triterpenoids, 3β-hydroxy-11α-hydroperoxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid (1) and 3β-hydroxy-11α-hydroperoxyursan-12-en-28-oic acid (2), together with nine known triterpenoids, squalene (3), β-amyrin acetate (4), α-amyrin acetate (5), lupeol acetate (6), lupeol (7), lanosta-7,24-dien-3β-ol (8), cycloeucalenol (9), oleanolic acid (11) and ursolic acid (12), a known phytosterol, 24-methylenepollinastanol (10), and two known flavanols, (–)-catechin (13) and (–)-gallocatechin (14), were isolated from the methanolic extract of the fresh seedpods of Holarrhena curtisii. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis (one and two dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance, high resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy). All compounds (except squalene) were evaluated for their in vitro α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Compounds 1, 2, 11 and 12, which had a pentacyclic triterpenoid acid skeleton, showed a strong in vitro α-glucosidase inhibitory activity compared to that of the standard control, acarbose.
