Descripción

General description

Hypericin hydrophobic is a red color pigment occurring naturally in Hypericum perforatum. Its fluorescence is measured at 600 nm.[1] It is localized in the intracellular membranes including nuclear membrane, mitochondrial membrane, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes and endoplasmic reticulum.

Application

Hypericin from Hypericum perforatum has been used:

• in the broth macrodilution test and antibacterial assay against bacterial strains
• as a medium supplement for human malignant melanoma cells for irradiation and localization studies
• as a ligand for pregnane X receptor (PXR) and as defatting medium supplement for primary human hepatocytes culture

Biochem/physiol Actions

Anthraquinone-derivative within St. John′s wort. Antibacterial effective against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Hypericin is a potent inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC), telomerase, cytochrome P450 and reverse transcriptase.[1] It is exploited for its photosensitizing functionality in photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) in cancer cells.

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.
