Galangin is a flavonol, a type of flavonoid.
Occurrence
Galangin is found in high concentrations in plants like Alpinia officinarum (lesser galangal)[1] and Helichrysum aureonitens.[2] It is also found in the rhizome of Alpinia galanga[3] and in propolis.[4]
Biological activities
Galangin has been shown to have in vitro antibacterial[5][6][7] and antiviral activity.[8] It also inhibits the growth of breast tumor cells in vitro.[9][10]
