1,3,6-trihydroxy-2-methyl-9,10-anthraquinone-3-O-(6'-O-acetyl)-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1->2)-beta-D-glucopyranoside is a disaccharide derivative that is 1,3,6-trihydroxy-2-methyl-9,10-anthraquinone attached to a (6'-O-acetyl)-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl residue at position 3 via a glycosidic linkage. It has been isolated from the roots of Rubia yunnanensis. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent and a plant metabolite.

Braylin has anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive and immunomodulatory effects, which possibly act through the glucocorticoid receptor activation and by inhibition of the transcriptional activity of NF-κB. Braylin is also a phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor, it could represent an ideal prototype of glucocorticoid receptor ligand, able to induce synergic immunomodulatory effects.
