Three known compounds, puerarol (1), pueroside B (2), and ononin (3), were isolated from an EtOAc-soluble fraction of the roots of Pueraria lobata. The isolates (1 - 3) were subjected to an in vitro bioassay to evaluate their inhibitory activity on the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Puerarol (1) exhibited a remarkable inhibitory activity on AGEs formation with $IC_{50}$ value of $2.05{\pm}0.32{\mu}M$ as compared with positive control, aminoguanidine ($IC_{50}$ value : $905.32{\pm}7.58{\mu}M$).
