Hyperforin

Phytochemistry, 2006
Hyperforin is a polyprenylated acylphloroglucinol derivative from Hypericum perforatum (St. John's wort). It exhibits antidepressant activity by a novel mechanism of action, antibiotic activity against gram-positive bacteria, and antitumoral activity in vivo. However, it also produces drug-drug interactions by activation of the pregnan X receptor.

Potential antidepressant properties of IDN 5491 (hyperforin-trimethoxybenzoate), a semisynthetic ester of hyperforin

European Neuropsychopharmacology, 2005
Hyperforin is one of the possible active principles mediating the antidepressant activity of Hypericum perforatum L. extracts. The ester derivative IDN 5491 (hyperforin-trimethoxybenzoate) showed antidepressant-like properties in the forced swimming test (FST) in rats, with no effect on open-field activity, when given as three intraperitoneal ...

DNA-protective activities of hyperforin and aristoforin

Toxicology in Vitro, 2015
The aim of this study was to explain the molecular mechanisms of action of hyperforin, a phluoroglucinol derivative found in Hypericum perforatum L. and its more stable derivative aristoforin. DNA-topology assay revealed partial DNA-protective activities of hyperforin and aristoforin against Fe(2+)-induced DNA breaks.

Hyperforin as a possible antidepressant component of hypericum extracts

Life Sciences, 1998
We demonstrate that the phloroglucinol derivative hyperforin is not only the major lipophilic chemical constituent of the medicinal plant Hypericum perforatum (St. John's wort) but also a potent uptake inhibitor of serotonin (5-HT), dopamine (DA), noradrenaline (NA), GABA and L-Glutamate with IC50 values of about 0.05-0.10 microg/ml (5-HT, NA, DA, GABA)

Oxidation products of hyperforin from Hypericum perforatum

open access: yesPhytochemistry, 1998
The isolation of two oxidation products of hyperforin from the aerial parts of Hypericum perforatum and their structure determination by means of 2D NMR methods is reported. The products had the same 1-(2-methyl-1-oxopropyl)-2,12-dioxo-3,10 beta-bis(3-methyl-2-butenyl)-11 beta-methyl-11 alpha-(4-methyl-3-pentenyl)-5-oxatricyclo[6.3.1.0(4,8)]-3-dodec ...

Hyperforin modifies neuronal membrane properties in vivo

open access: yesNeuroscience Letters, 2004
Hyperforin, the major active constituent of St. John Wort (SJW) extract, affects several neurotransmitter systems in the brain putatively by modulation of the physical state of neuronal membranes.

Photochemical Degradation of Hyperforin

Letters in Organic Chemistry, 2008
Irradiation of hyperforin in acetonitrile gave a single degradation product with a first order kinetics (k = 3.23 M h(-1)). The degradation product was a 1:1 tautomeric mixture of 2-methyl-3-hydroxy-4-(1-oxo-2-methyl-1-propyl)-1, 5dioxo-6-(3-methyl-1-but-2-enyl)-2-cyclohexene and 2-methyl-1, 3, 5-trioxo-4-(1-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-propylene)-6-(3-methyl-1 ...

Total Synthesis of Hyperforin

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2015
A 10-step total synthesis of the polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinol (PPAP) natural product hyperforin from 2-methylcyclopent-2-en-1-one is reported. This route was enabled by a diketene annulation reaction and an oxidative ring expansion strategy designed to complement the presumed biosynthesis of this complex meroterpene.

Enantioselective Total Synthesis of Hyperforin and Pyrohyperforin

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2022
AbstractCapitalizing on the late‐stage diversification of an essential 1,3‐diene intermediate, we describe herein a 9‐step enantioselective total synthesis of (+)‐hyperforin and (+)‐pyrohyperforin, starting from commercially available allylacetone. Our convergent synthesis features a series of critical reactions: 1) an enantioselective deconjugative α ...

Hyperforin: To Be or Not to Be an Activator of TRPC(6)

2015
Meantime, it is well accepted that hyperforin, the chemical instable phloroglucinol derivative of Hypericum perforatum, St. John's wort, is the pharmacophore of St. John's wort extracts. With the decline of this scientific discussion, another controversial aspect has been arisen, the question regarding the underlying mechanism leading to the ...
