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.

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 ...

Hyperforin activates nonselective cation channels (NSCCs) [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, 2005
A large body of evidence supports the preclinical antidepressant profile of hyperforin including inhibition of the synaptosomal uptake of several neurotransmitters by hyperforin and studies in behavioural models. In contrast to other antidepressants, hyperforin does not directly inhibit neurotransmitter transporters, but instead uptake inhibition ...

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.

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 ...
