(2α,3β,4α)-2,3,19-Trihydroxyurs-12-ene-23,28-dioic acid is a saponin that can be isolated from Rubus ellipticus var. obcordatus. (2α,3β,4α)-2,3,19-Trihydroxyurs-12-ene-23,28-dioic acid inhibits α-Glucosidase with an IC50 of 1.68 mM.

Papain inhibitor (Glycylglycyl-L-tyrosyl-L-arginine) acts as an effective competitive inhibitor to papain, with a Ki of 9 μM at pH 6.2.
