Astilbin is the (2R-trans)-isomer; neoisoastilbin is the (2S-cis)-isomer and isoastilbin is the (2R-cis)-isomer.

== 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 (Fava d'anta, Fabaceae), in the leaves of Harungana madagascariensis (Hypericaceae), in the rhizome of Astilbe thunbergii, in the root of Astilbe odontophylla (Saxifragaceae), in the rhizome of Smilax glabra (Chinaroot, Smilacaceae) and in the bark of Hymenaea martiana. In food It can be isolated from Kohki tea processed from Engelhardtia chrysolepis (huang-qui). It is also present in certain wines.
