A series of seco-A-pentacyclic triterpenoids-3,4-lactone were synthesized and the anti-HBV activities were evaluated in vitro. Several compounds inhibited the secretion of HBV antigen and the replication of HBV DNA in micromolar level. Compounds D7 and D10, seco-A-oleanane-3,4-lactone, suppressed the HBeAg secretion with IC50 values of 0.14 mu M and 0.86 mu M respectively, and the inhibitory activities were also confirmed by detecting the fluorescence intensity of FITC-labeled monoclonal mouse HBeAg antibody via flow cytometry. Compounds D7 and D10 as well as B4, ring-A cleaved 3,30-dioic acid, also displayed remarkable inhibition on both HBV DNA replication at the concentration of 25 mu M and HBV cccDNA (covalently closed circularDNA) replication with IC50 values of 33.5 mu M, 32.7 mu M and 12.3 mu M respectively.
