Abstract: Some oleanolic acid(OA) derivatives with γ-lactone functionality in ring C had better H2O solubi-lity and bioavailability than OA. Preliminary biological screening in vitro of these derivatives for 12 responding protein targets and cells of frequent diseases was processed. This investigation revealed that lactone 13 showed significant activity(IC50=3.58 μg/mL) against Cathepsin K, and was found to be a potent leader compound for the treatment of osteoporosis. Preliminary structure-activity relationship analysis indicated that the γ-lactone and glyco-groups were active groups.

Key words: Oleanolic acid, Cathepsin K, Osteoporosis, Structure-activity relationship
