Hyperforin is a phytochemical produced by some of the members of the plant genus Hypericum, notably Hypericum perforatum (St John's wort).[1] Hyperforin is attributed to provide the main antidepressant effect of St. John's wort,[1] although there is limited clinical evidence that hyperforin and St. John's wort have any effect on depression.[2][3]

Occurrence[edit]
Hyperforin has only been found in significant amounts in Hypericum perforatum with other related species such as Hypericum calycinum containing lower levels of the phytochemical.[1] It accumulates in oil glands, pistils, and fruits, probably as a plant defensive compound.[4] Other Hypericum species contain low amounts of hyperforin.[5]
Chemistry[edit]
Hyperforin is a prenylated phloroglucinol derivative. The structure of hyperforin was elucidated by a research group from the Shemyakin Institute of Bio-organic Chemistry (USSR Academy of Sciences in Moscow) and published in 1975.[6][7] A total synthesis of the non-natural enantiomer of hyperforin was reported in 2010[8] and a total synthesis of the natural enantiomer was disclosed in 2012.[9]
Hyperforin is unstable in the presence of light and oxygen.[10]
Pharmacokinetics[edit]
Some pharmacokinetic data on hyperforin is available for an extract containing 5% hyperforin. Maximal plasma levels (Cmax) in human volunteers were reached 3.5 hours after administration of an extract containing 14.8 mg hyperforin. Biological half-life (t1/2) and mean residence time were 9 hours and 12 hours, respectively, with an estimated steady state plasma concentration of 100 ng/mL (approx. 180 nM) for 3 doses per day. Linear plasma concentrations were observed within a normal dosage range and no accumulation occurred.[11]
In healthy male volunteers, 612 mg dry extract of St. John's wort produced hyperforin pharmacokinetics characterised by a half life of 19.64 hours.[12]

Hyperforin may be a constituent responsible for the antidepressant and anxiolytic properties of the extracts of St. John's wort.[1][13]In vitro, it acted as a reuptake inhibitor of monoamines, including serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine, and of GABA and glutamate, with IC50 values of 0.05-0.10 μg/mL for all compounds, with the exception of glutamate, which is in the 0.5 μg/mL range.[14] In other laboratory studies, hyperforin induced cytochrome P450 enzymes CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 by binding to and activating the pregnane X receptor.[15]

Research on depression[edit]
Two meta-analyses of clinical trials, one published in July 2016 and the other in March 2017, evaluating the efficacy of St. John's wort for treating mild-to-moderate depression indicated a response similar to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and with better tolerance, although the quality of the studies reviewed was limited by low numbers of subjects and short durations of treatment.[2][3]
