Active phloroglucinol constituents of Hypericum perforatum (St. John's wort) extracts, hyperforin and adhyperforin, have been studied following ion activation using tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and complemented by accurate mass measurements. These two compounds were readily analyzed as
Hyperforin and adhyperforin contribute to the antidepressant effects of Hypericum perforatum. The involvement of branched-chain amino acids in the biosynthesis of hyperforin and adhyperforin was demonstrated in H. perforatum shoot cultures. L-[U-(13)C(5)]Valine and L-[U-(13)C(6)]isoleucine, upon
The present paper describe investigations which demonstrate that hyperforin is not the only phloroglucinol derivative in extracts of the medicinal plant Hypericum perforatum L., which possess a biological activity. Hyperforin was the major lipophilic constituent in two different extracts, whereas
Adhyperforin is a novel constituent of Hypericum perforatum L., but its antidepressant-like activity remains unclear. To explore that, several well-validated animal models of depression as well as neurotransmitter reuptake and transporter binding assays were conducted. The results showed
Nine extracts of H. perforatum, containing hyperforin in conjugated forms, but devoid of free hyperforin and adhyperforin, were subjected to antidepressant screening using the forced swim test (FST). The observed activity was compared with that of SJW extracts containing hyperforin and adhyperforin
Hypericum perforatum L. (St. John's Wort) is a widely distributed herbaceous perennial plant which has been well known as a medicinal plant since antiquity. In recent years, H. perforatum has received increasing attention for the treatment of depression and other neuralgic disorders. The main
Hypericum perforatum L. (St. John's Wort) has long been known as a medicinal plant, and has been used for the treatment of depression and neuralgic disorders. Its main active constituents are believed to be a naphthodianthrone, hypericin, and a phloroglucinol, hyperforin. A sensitive high
A new, fast and reliable procedure for the quantification of the major compounds of Hypericum perforatum L. has been developed. Four naphthodianthrones (protopseudohypericin, pseudohypericin, protohypericin, hypericin) and two phloroglucinols (hyperforin, adhyperforin) were assayed by HPLC using a
Hypericum perforatum L. (St. John's Wort) has been used in modern medicine for treatments of depression and neuralgic disorders. An HPLC method with photodiode array detection for the rapid determination of the major active compounds, naphthodianthrones and phloroglucinols, has been developed. The
Supercritical fluid extracts (carbon dioxide without modifiers) of St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum L., Clusiaceae) were analyzed by GC-MS, HPLC-DAD and HPLC-DAD-MS. Besides the dominating phloroglucinols hyperforin (36.5 +/- 1.1%) and adhyperforin (4.6 +/- 0.1%), the extracts mainly contained
The separation of the lipophilic compounds in extracts of Hypericum perforatum L. is demonstrated in a non-aqueous capillary electrophoresis system with reversed electro-osmotic flow. Solvent mixtures of methanol, dimethylsulfoxide and N-methylformamide were used for the electrophoresis media, with
Two previously uncharacterized cDNAs encoding for polyketide synthases (PKSs), designated as HpPKS1 and HpPKS2, were isolated from Hypericum perforatum. The full-length HpPKS1 was 1573bp containing an open reading frame (ORF) of 1161bp encoding for a 386 amino acid protein. The full-length cDNA of
St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum L.) was extracted with supercritical carbon dioxide using a pilot batch extraction plant. The effects of pressure, temperature, flow rate and extraction time were examined with respect to extraction yield and hyperforin content. Supercritical carbon dioxide
The newly established hyphenated instrumentation of LC/DAD/SPE/NMR and LC/UV/(ESI)MS techniques have been applied for separation and structure verification of the major known constituents present in Greek Hypericum perforatum extracts. The chromatographic separation was performed on a C18 column.
