General description

Hyperforin is a phloroglucinol component of St. John′s wort and a pregnane X receptor ligand.[1]

Application

Hyperforin may be used:
  • as a reference standard for calibration curve generation in high-perfornamce liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis[2]
  • to test its cytotoxic effect and apoptosis induction in mouse embryonic cells[3]
  • as a pregnane X receptor (PXR) in porcine brain capillary endothelial cells for transport assay[4]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Hyperforin is an active antidepressant[2] and an inhibitor of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A).[1] It elicits antioxidant and antibacterial activity. Hyperforin is also embryotoxic and inhibits tumor proliferation.[3] It effectively inhibits dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine.[1]

Hyperforin, a major constituent of St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum, HP), provides anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and anti-bacterial properties. Previous studies have shown anti-oxidative properties of St. John's Wort extracts; however, its free radical scavenging activity in skin cells or skin has
