Collinin is a geranyloxycoumarins isolated in small amounts from plants of the Rutaceae family. Synthetic schemes were recently developed allowing to handle collinin in sufficient quantities to put in evidence valuable biological effects. The aim of this review is to examine the phytochemical and pharmacological properties of this compound.
