Troxerutin is a flavonol, a type of flavonoid, derived from rutin.[1] It is more accurately a hydroxyethylrutoside. It can be isolated from Sophora japonica, the Japanese pagoda tree.

It is used as a vasoprotective.[2]

Troxerutin has been shown in mice to reverse CNS insulin resistance and reduce reactive oxygen species induced by a high-cholesterol diet.[3]
