Hypericin (548-04-9) is a natural product found in St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum). A multifunctional agent that has been reported to be antidepressive, antineoplastic, antitumor and antiviral. Inhibitory effects have been demonstrated on various enzyme including MAO, PKC, dopamine-β-hydroxylase, reverse transcriptase, telomerase and CYP.1 Hypericin can cause photosensitivity – as a result, it is being investigated as an agent in photodynamic therapy.2
