Abstract: The aim of the current study was to investigate the oral antidiabetic activity of four structurally-related tri- terpenic acids: ursolic (RE-01), oleanolic (RE-02), moronic (RE-03) and morolic (RE-04) acids. STZ-nicotin- amide diabetic rats were treated with these triterpenes (50 mg/kg) and the antidiabetic effects in acute experiment were determined. All compounds showed significant antidiabetic activity in comparison with control group(p<0.05). The invitro inhibitoryactivityof compounds againstproteintyrosinephosphatase1B (PTPe1B) was also evaluated. At 50 M, the enzymatic activity was almost completely inhibited. All compoundswere dockedwith a crystal structure of PTPe1B.Docking results suggested the potential binding of the triterpenic acids ina bindingpocketnext tothe catalytic site.Anextensivehydrogenbondnetworkwith the carboxyl group and Van derWaals interactions stabilize the protein-ligand complexes.
