Previous studies have revealed that oleanolic acid (OA) C28-glucose conjugate displayed potent anti-influenza viral activity in vitro. However, the effect of pentacyclic triterpene scaffold coupled with glucose on anti-influenza virus activity has not been clarified. Herein, as a continuous further study, a series of pentacyclic triterpene-glucose conjugates were prepared via CuAAC reaction, and the anti-influenza activity of these compounds was evaluated in vitro. Among them, compound 4d, an betulinic acid (BA)-glucose conjugate, showed potent anti-influenza virus activity (IC50 value of 9.09 μmol/L), and no obvious cytotoxic effect on MDCK (Madin-Darbey Canine Kidney) cells was observed (CC50>100 μmol/L). Structure-activity relationship studies showed that both triterpene scaffolds and glucose moiety have important effects on the anti-viral activity. Overall, this finding further extends the utility of triterpene derivatives in anti-influenza virus drug design.

Key words: pentacyclic triterpene, influenza virus, entry inhibitors, structure-activity relationship
