Geraniin is a dehydroellagitannin found in geraniums.[1] It is found for instance in Geranium thunbergii, which is one of the most popular folk medicines and also an official antidiarrheic drug in Japan.[2] It can also be found in the rind of Nephelium lappaceum (rambutan).[3]
It mediates apoptosis by cleavage of focal adhesion kinase through up-regulation of Fas ligand expression in human melanoma cells.[1]
It is formed with one hexahydroxydiphenic acid unit, one modified hexahydroxydiphenic acid unit (dehydrohexahydroxydiphenic acid or DHHDP) and one gallic acid unit linked to a glucose molecule. It is forming an equilibrium mixture of six-membered hemi-ketal and five-membered hemi-ketal forms.[4]
Chebulagic acid is formed from geraniin through a glutathione-mediated conversion.[5]
