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]

Geraniin has also been shown to possess immunomodularity properties, as it inhibits tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and NF-κB in ovarian cancer cells. ^[4]

Geraniin was studied for its anticancer activity and shown to target apoptosis via inactivation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway involving NF-κB when treated against HT-29 human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells. ^[5]

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.^{[citation needed]}

Chebulagic acid is formed from geraniin through a glutathione-mediated conversion.^[6]
