Bioactivity-guided isolation afforded 10 compounds from the ethanolic extract of the seeds of Quassia indica including, four novel quassinoids namely; samaderin L (6), samaderin R (7), samaderoside L (9) and samaderoside R (10). The structures were illustrated based on 1D and 2D NMR data, HRESIMS and singlecrystal X-ray analysis. Among the quassinoids, samaderoside R (10) displayed significant α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Molecular simulation experiments proved that samaderoside R (10) effectively binds to the active sites of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (3A4A) and human maltase glucoamylase (N- and C-terminal: 2QMJ and 3TOP) enzymes.
