Biochem/physiol Actions

Hyperforin is believed to be the primary active constituent responsible for the antidepressant and anxiolytic properties of the extracts of St. John′s wort. It acts as a reuptake inhibitor of monoamines, including serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine, and of GABA and glutamate by activating the transient receptor potential ion channel TRPC6. It also is an activator of the pregnane X receptor (PXR), which serves as a key regulator of CYP3A4 transcription, a member of the cytochrome (CYP) P450 enzyme system. Recent studies have found it to have neuroprotective effects against Alzheimer′s disease (AD) neuropathology, including the ability to disassemble amyloid-β aggregates in vitro and improve spatial memory in vivo.
Stable salt of hyperforin. Hyperforin is believed to be the primary active constituent responsible for the antidepressant and anxiolytic properties of the extracts of St. John′s wort. It acts as a reuptake inhibitor of monoamines, including serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine, and of GABA and glutamate by activating the transient receptor potential ion channel TRPC6. Activation of TRPC6 induces the entry of sodium and calcium into the cell which causes inhibition of monoamine reuptake. It also is an activator of the pregnane X receptor (PXR), which serves as a key regulator of CYP3A4 transcription, a member of the cytochrome (CYP) P450 enzyme system. Recent studies have found other neurological effects, effects on inflammation, as well as antibacterial, antitumoral and antiangiogenic effects.

Cyclooxygenase-2-derived prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) stimulates tumor cell growth and progression. However, the mechanisms by which PGE(2) increases tumor growth remain incompletely understood. In studies performed in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) cells, we found that PGE(2) stimulates the expression of

The attenuated reflex vasoconstriction in aged skin may be partly mediated by oxidant-induced reduction in functional substrate and cofactor availability for noradrenaline biosynthesis. We hypothesized that localized supplementation of tyrosine and tetrahydrobiopterin (BH(4)) in aged human skin could augment reflex-
