Four new triterpenes and triterpene glycosides from the leaves of Ilex latifolia and their inhibitory activity on triglyceride accumulation

Two new triterpenes (1 and 2) and two new triterpene glycosides (3 and 4), along with six known triterpenes (5–10) were isolated from the leaves of Ilex latifolia. The structures of new compounds were elucidated on the basis of NMR, HR-MS, and X-ray diffraction analysis. Compounds 4 and 5 showed potent inhibitory activity on oleic acid/palmitic acid induced triglyceride accumulation on HepG2 cells.
