Galbacin
Galbacin ((3S) -Zuonin A), the epimer of (-) -Zuonin A , is a AMPK activator. Galbacin can be isolated from Myristica fragrans (nutmeg). Galbacin stimulates AMPK enzyme in differentiated C2C12 cells. Galbacin also has anticancer activity, and inhibits the proliferation of lymphocyte and tumor cells. Galbacin prevents weight gain in diet-induced mice model. Galbacin can be used for metabolic syndrome (including obesity and type-2 diabetes) and caners research[1][2].
