Eighteen pyrazolo[4,3‐ b ]oleanane derivatives have been synthesized and biologically evaluated as inhibitors of rabbit muscle GPa. Key compound 5 was readily obtained in four steps starting from oleanolic acid (OA; 1 ). Further modification based on pyrazolo triterpene 5 resulted in 17 novel pyrazolo pentacyclic triterpenes. All of the synthesized pyrazolo[4,3‐ b ]oleanane derivatives were biologically assayed against rabbit muscle GPa. Within this series of compounds, pyrazole triterpene 19 ( IC 50 =9.9 μ M ) exhibited more potent activity than the parent compound 1 . Preliminary structure–activity relationship analysis of the pyrazolo[4,3‐ b ]oleanane derivatives as GPa inhibitors is discussed.
