Girinimbine is a carbazole alkaloid isolated from the curry tree (Murraya koenigii) along with the related alkaloids mahanimbine,[1] koenimbine,[2] isomahanine, mahanine, and others.

A 2011 study of girinimbine found that it inhibited the growth and induced apoptosis in human hepatocellular carcinoma, Hep G2 cells in vitro.[3]
