描述
Widespread in Hypericum subspecies especies Hypericum perforatum (St John's Wort)
Hypericin is a red-coloured anthraquinone-derivative, which, together with hyperforin, is one of the principal active constituents of Hypericum (Saint John's wort). Hypericin is believed to act as an antibiotic and non-specific kinase inhibitor. Hypericin may inhibit the action of the enzyme dopamine ?-hydroxylase, leading to increased dopamine levels, although thus possibly decreasing norepinephrine and epinephrine. Hypericin is found in tea, alcoholic beverages, and herbs and spices.
