Uncaria rhynchophylla  (Gouteng) is a famous traditional Chinese medicine used for psychiatric and hypotensive purposes in China. In this study, the ethyl acetate (EtOAc) part of  U. rhynchophylla  was revealed with protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitory activity. Subsequent investigation on the EtOAc part yielded one new triterpenoid, 3 β -formyloxy-6 β ,19 α -dihydroxyurs-12-en-28-oic acid ( 1 ) and four known ones, 3 β ,6 β ,19 α -trihydroxyurs-12-en-28-oic acid ( 2 ), 2-oxopomolic acid ( 3 ), 3 β ,19 α -dihydroxy-6-oxo-olean-12-en-28-oic acid ( 4 ) and sumaresinolic acid ( 5 ). The structure of compound  1  was determined by extensive HRESIMS, IR, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic analyses. Two ursane-type triterpenoids ( 2  and  3)  showed selective inhibition on PTP1B with IC 50  values of 48.2 and 178.7  μ M. The enzyme kinetic study suggested that compounds  2  and  3  were mix-type inhibitors on PTP1B with  K  i  values of 15.6 and 132.5  μ M. This investigation manifests the antidiabetic potency of  U. rhynchophylla  with triterpenoids as the active constituents.
