Robinetin is an organic compound in the flavone group with the molecular formula C15H10O7. Chemically, it is a flavone with 5 hydroxy groups. Its name originates from the botanical name of the genus Robinia.[citation needed]

Natural role

It has a role as a plant metabolite and is a pentahydroxyflavone and a 7-hydroxyflavonol.[1] Robinetin is one of the basic chemical extracts of the species black locust, Robinia pseudoacacia and its wood, imparting a high biological resistance against several pathogens (fungi, insects).[2]

As flavonoid, robinetin has also been isolated from the heartwood of the African species, Millettia stuhlmannii.[3]

In plant systems, robinetin as flavonoids in general, help in combating oxidative stress and act as growth regulators.[citation needed]

Research

Recent research has focused on the health aspects of flavonoids for humans, particularly that of robinetin. It has been shown to possess a certain antioxidative activity, free radical scavenging capacity, coronary heart disease prevention, hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities.[4]

Robinetin also can inhibit lipid peroxidation and protein glycosylation.[citation needed]
