Description

General description

Hypaphorine is a natural product derived from a plant source. It is an indolic compound, initially isolated from Pisolithus tinctorius, an ectomycorrhizal fungus. This compound is made up of tryptophan and three methyl groups. It is recently identified as one of the components of human milk. Hypaphorinecan also be sourced from marine organisms.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Hypaphorine has demostrated sleep promoting properties by increasing non-rapid eye movement sleep duration for the first hour after it is administered in mice.

Hypaphorine is known to reduce glucose levels in rat models. Along with this, it possesses anti-inflammatory and certain neurological functions.
