Description
  • Key constituent of St. John's wort.
  • Shows properties of potential pharmacological interest, including antibacterial [1], anti-malarial [13], anti-inflammatory [7, 14], anti-cancer and anti-angiogenic effects [5, 10].
  • Anti-depressant and anxiolytic compound [3].
  • Specific activator of TRPC6 channels [11].
  • Inhibits the re-uptake of neurotransmitters in synapses (serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine, GABA, glutamate) [4].
  • Activator of the pregnane X receptor (PXR) [2].
  • Regulates expression of the cytochrome P450 CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 and hepatic drugs metabolism [8].
  • Potential anti-Alzheimer compound [6, 9, 15].
  • Potent SIRT1 (sirtuin 1) and SIRT2 (sirtuin 2) inhibitor [12].
  • Based on the anti-inflammatory activity of Hyperforin and its simultaneous blockade of multiple signaling pathways, such as IFN‐γ/IL‐1β/TNF‐α, JAK/STAT, NF‐κB and MAPK it has been suggested a valuable agent for cytokine storm treatment during COVID-19 [16].
  • Hyperforin targets glutathione peroxidase-4 (GPX-4).
  • Enhances heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression
