Chemical properties

Robinin has the molecular formula C33H40O19 and a molecular weight of 740.66 g/mol.[5]

It is a diglycoside of kaempferol, with sugar moieties attached at the -3 and -7 positions of the flavonol skeleton. These sugars include rhamnose and galactose residues linked through glycosidic bonds.[6]

Biological activities and applications

Preliminary research suggests that robinin exhibits anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and cardioprotective properties.[7] It has been reported to inhibit the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and to reduce cardiotoxicity in animal models.

While robinin has demonstrated bioactivity in laboratory studies, it currently has no approved therapeutic or pharmacological use in humans.[8]
