The Content of Biologically Active Substances in Hypericum Perforatum L. and the Pharmacotherapeutic Effect of Drugs Based on it (Review)

Keywords: Pharmacopoeia plant, active substances, hypericin, flavonoids, hyperforin, sterols, pharmacological activity, pharmacotherapeutic range

The aim of this work was to present the results of generalizing literature data on the chemical composition, pharmacotherapeutic effect of biologically active substances of the plant Hypericum perforatum L. and the spectrum of phytopreparations use in the clinical practice. The chemical composition of St. John's wort (Hyperici herba) is studied quite fully within the Eurasian natural habitat of the species, more than 80 components were isolated. The main biologically active compounds of raw materials are anthracene derivatives (hypericin), flavonoids (rutin, quercetin, hyperoside), phenylpropanoids (chlorogenic acid) and phloroglucinol hyperforin, which have a wide range of pharmacological actions and characterizing a species-specificity of the plant Hypericum L.. Photosensitizing hypericins and hormone-like sterols determine side effects of St. John's wort preparations. The results of pharmacognostic and pharmacological studies determine feasibility of clinical trials using St. John's wort preparations and their use in a large therapeutic range in complex treatment of diseases. St. John's wort herb is a promising source of raw materials for antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, astringent, diuretic, antidepressant, antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, immunotropic and adaptogenic agents.
