Galangin is a flavonol, a type of flavonoid.

Occurrence

[edit]

Galangin is found in high concentrations in plants like Alpinia officinarum (lesser galangal)^[1] and Helichrysum aureonitens.^[2] It is also found in the rhizomeofAlpinia galanga^[3] and in propolis.^[4]

Biological activities

[edit]

Galangin has been shown to have in vitro antibacterial^[5]^[6] and antiviral activity.^[7] It also inhibits the growth of breast tumor cells in vitro.^[8]^[9]
