Hypericum SPP.: An Update On The Biological Activities And Metabolic Profiles.

Hypericum SPP.: An Update On The Biological Activities And Metabolic Profiles. Mini Rev Med Chem. 2019 Sep 26;: Authors: Marrelli M, Statti G, Conforti F Abstract Plants from the genus Hypericum, one genera of the Hypericaceae family, have attracted a lot of attention for their potential pharmaceutical applications. Most of the studies in the literature focus on H. perforatum L. (common St. John's wort), whose complex spectrum of bioactive compounds makes this species one of the top herbal remedies and supplements in the world. It is also important to compare the studies of other Hypericum species, both from the phytochemical and from the biological point of view. The aim of this review is to provide an update of most recent studies about biological investigations of plants belonging to Hypericum genus. The metabolic profiles of Hypericum spp. were also discussed in order to present a spectrum of secondary metabolites not previously identified in this genus.
