Pinobanksin is an antioxidant bioflavonoid (specifically a flavanonol, a category of flavonol) that inhibits peroxidation of low density lipoprotein and it has electron donor properties reducing alpha-tocopherol radicals.{{cn|date=May 2013}} It is present in sunflower honey.{{cite journal | doi = 10.1111/j.1365-2621.1992.tb08094.x | title = Identification of Flavonoids in Sunflower Honey | year = 1992 | last1 = Sabatier | first1 = S. | last2 = Amiot | first2 = M.J. | last3 = Tacchini | first3 = M. | last4 = Aubert | first4 = S. | journal = Journal of Food Science | volume = 57 | issue = 3 | pages = 773}}

Pinobanksin is biosynthesized from pinocembrin.
