silibinin

One of two major constituents of silymarin (silibinins A and B), the main extract of milk thistle (Silybum marianum seeds), which have hepatoprotective effects (e.g., against Amanita phalloides (deathcap mushroom) poisoning) and anti-cancer activity (in animal models) against prostate adenocarcinoma, breast carcinoma cells, cervical carcinoma cells, colon cancer and both small and non-small lung carcinomas. It may also be useful for cirrhosis and type-2 diabetes.
