Hypericin
Hypericin is found in alcoholic beverages. Hypericin is widespread in Hypericum species especially Hypericum perforatum (St Johns Wort) Hypericin is a red-coloured anthraquinone-derivative, which, together with hyperforin, is one of the principal active constituents of Hypericum (Saint Johns wort). Hypericin is believed to act as an antibiotic and non-specific kinase inhibitor. Hypericin may inhibit the action of the enzyme dopamine -hydroxylase, leading to increased dopamine levels, although thus possibly decreasing norepinephrine and epinephrine D002491 - Central Nervous System Agents > D011619 - Psychotropic Drugs > D000928 - Antidepressive Agents Widespread in Hypericum subspecies especies Hypericum perforatum (St Johns Wort) D007155 - Immunologic Factors > D007166 - Immunosuppressive Agents C274 - Antineoplastic Agent > C1931 - Antineoplastic Plant Product D000890 - Anti-Infective Agents > D000998 - Antiviral Agents D011838 - Radiation-Sensitizing Agents D000970 - Antineoplastic Agents C1907 - Drug, Natural Product D004791 - Enzyme Inhibitors Hypericin is a carbopolycyclic compound. It has a role as an antidepressant. It derives from a hydride of a bisanthene. Hypericin is a natural product found in Hypericum adenotrichum, Hypericum bithynicum, and other organisms with data available. Hypericin is an anthraquinone derivative that is naturally found in the yellow flower of Hypericum perforatum (St. Johns wort) with antidepressant, potential antiviral, antineoplastic and immunostimulating activities. Hypericin appears to inhibit the neuronal uptake of serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine, gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) and L-glutamate, which may contribute to its antidepressant effect. Hypericin may also prevent the replication of encapsulated viruses probably due to inhibition of the assembly and shedding of virus particles in infected cells. This agent also exerts potent phototoxic effects by triggering apoptotic signaling that results in formation of reactive oxygen species. Hypericin is a naturally occurring substance found in Hyperlcurn perforatum L. Hypericin is an inhibitor of PKC (protein kinase C), MAO (monoaminoxidase), dopamine-beta-hydroxylase, reverse transcriptase, telomerase and CYP (cytochrome P450). Hypericin shows antitumor, antiviral, antidepressive activities, and can induce apoptosis[1][2][3]. Hypericin is a naturally occurring substance found in Hyperlcurn perforatum L.
