Applicazioni

Hypericin from Hypericum perforatum has been used:

• in the broth macrodilution test and antibacterial assay against bacterial strains[3]
• as a medium supplement for human malignant melanoma cells for irradiation and localization studies[2]
• as a ligand for pregnane X receptor (PXR) and as defatting medium supplement for primary human hepatocytes culture[4]

Azioni biochim/fisiol
