A series of lupeol derivatives 2, 2a-2f, 2a-2h, 3a-3e, and 4a-4b were designed, synthesised and evaluated for their α-glucosidase inhibitory and cytotoxic activities. Among synthetic derivatives, lupeol analogues 2b and 2e containing a benzylidene chain exhibited the best activity against α-glucosidase and superior to the positive agent with the IC50 values of 29.4 ± 1.33 and 20.1 ± 0.91 μM, respectively. Lupeol analogues 2d and 3a showed weak cytotoxicity against K562 cell line with the IC50 values of 76.6 ± 2.40 and 94.4 ± 1.51 μM, respectively.

Abstract: An improved method of isolation of betulin and lupeol from birch bark is developed and reported. The method afforded triterpenes with purity of 98.2% (betulin) and 96.3% (lupeol), respectively. Chromyl chloride was also investigated as an oxidating agent of O-acetylated betulin and lupeol. The transformation of isopropenyl moiety to aldehyde group was observed.

A practical synthesis of α-amyrin (1), β-amyrin (2), and lupeol (3) was accomplished in total yields of 32, 42, and 40% starting from easily available ursolic acid (4), oleanolic acid (5), and betulin (6), respectively. Remarkably, these three natural pentacyclic triterpenes exhibited potential inhibitory activity against human oxidosqualene cyclase.
