Triterpene carboxylic acids were isolated from the methanol extract of Hoelen, Poria cocos, and found to inhibit 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA)-induced mouse ear edema. Their chemical structures were identified as 3β, 16α-dihydroxylanosta-7, 9(11), 24-trien-21-oic acid, 16α-hydroxydehydropachymic acid, 16α-hydroxytrametenolic acid and dehydrotumulosic acid.
