Eighteen derivatives of pentacyclic triterpene carboxylic acids (Maslinic acid, Corosolic acid and Asiatic acid) have been prepared by coupling the piperazine complex of L-amino acids at the C-28 site of the parent compounds. The alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activities of the pristine derivatives were evaluated in vitro. The results indicated that the inhibitory activity of some compounds (15e IC50 = 591 mu M, 16e IC50 = 423 mu M) was closed to that of the reference acarbose (IC50 = 347 mu M) in ethanol-water system. In addition, compound 16e (IC50 = 380 mu M) showed superior inhibitory activity than acarbose (IC50 = 493 mu M) in the measurement system with DMSO as solvent. The comparison of two different solvent systems showed that the derivatives had better alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity in the DMSO system than that of in ethanol-water system. Regrettably, all of the as synthesized derivatives exhibited inferior alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activities than those of the parent compounds in both test solvent systems. Furthermore, the result of enzyme kinetics demonstrated that the inhibition mechanism of compound 16e was noncompetitive inhibition with the inhibition constant K-i = 552 mu M.
