Nine lanostane and serratane-type triterpenes including two unknown compounds were isolated from the stem bark of Pinus luchuensis. These new compounds were characterized as 3-oxolanost-9(11)-ene-24S,25-diol (1) and 29-acetoxy-3beta-methoxyserrat-14-en-21alpha-ol (2) on the basis of spectroscopic evidence. Some of these triterpenes were tested for the inhibitory effect on DNA topoisomerase II activity. Compound 1 showed a slightly less potent inhibitory activity with an IC(50) value of 186 microM.
