Investigation of the n-BuOH extract of the aerial parts of <i>Elsholtzia bodinieri</i> led to the isolation of seven new triterpenoid saponins, Bodiniosides S–Y (<b>1</b>–<b>7</b>, resp.). Their strictures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic techniques, including HSQC, HSBC, and HSQC–TOCSY experiments, together with acid hydrolysis and GC analysis. The anti-influenza activities of compounds <b>1</b>–<b>7</b> were evaluated against A/WSN/33/2009 (H1N1) virus in MDCK cells. The results showed that compounds <b>2</b> and <b>5</b> exhibited moderate anti-influenza activities against A/WSN/33/2009 (H1N1), with inhibition rates of 35.33% and 24.08%, respectively.
