Astilbin is a flavanonol, a type of flavonoid. Astilbin is the (2R-trans)-isomer; neoisoastilbin is the (2S-cis)-isomer and isoastilbin is the (2R-cis)-isomer.[2]

Natural occurrences

Astilbin can be found in St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum, Clusiaceae, subfamily Hypericoideae, formerly often considered a full family Hypericaceae), in Dimorphandra mollis[3] (Fava d'anta, Fabaceae), in the leaves of Harungana madagascariensis (Hypericaceae),[4] in the rhizome of Astilbe thunbergii,[5] in the root of Astilbe odontophylla[6](Saxifragaceae), in the rhizone of Smilax glabra[7] (Chinaroot, Smilacaceae) and in the bark of Hymenaea martiana.[8]

in food

It can be isolated from Kohki tea processed from Engelhardtia chrysolepis (huang-qui).[2] It is also present in certain wines.[9]

Uses

Astilbin can act as an insecticide against Anticarsia gemmatalis and Spodoptera frugiperda.[3] It shows in vitro antibacterial activity[4] and activity on burn wound healing.[5] Astilbin is used in traditional Chinese medicine.[6]


Related compounds

3'-O-Methylastilbin shows an immunosuppressive activity against contact dermatitis.[7]
