The ethyl acetate soluble fraction from the roots of Sanguisorba tenuifolia was found to have a hypoglucemic effect in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Two new triterpenoids, identified as 2-oxo-3 beta,19 alpha-dihydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid beta-D-gluco-pyranosyl ester (1) and 2 alpha,19 alpha-dihydroxy-3-oxo-12-ursen-28-oic acid beta-D-glucopyranosyl ester (4) were isolated from this fraction, along with thirteen known triterpenoids. Their structures were elucidated by chemical and spectroscopic methods. All these compounds demonstrated inhibitory activities against alpha-glucosidase with IC(50) values in the 0.62-3.62 mM range.
