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.
