Hypericum perforatum attenuates the development of carrageenan-induced lung injury in mice.

Hypericum perforatum is a medicinal plant species containing many polyphenolic compounds, namely flavonoids and phenolic acids. Since polyphenolic compounds have a high antioxidant potential, in this study we evaluated the effect of H. perforatum in an animal model of acute inflammation, carrageenan-induced pleurisy. We report here that H. perforatum extract (given at 30 mg/kg orally, bolus prior to carrageenan) exerts potent anti-inflammatory effects in an animal model of acute inflammation. Injection of carrageenan into the pleural cavity of mice elicited an acute inflammatory response characterized by fluid accumulation in the pleural cavity which contained a large number of neutrophils (PMNs) as well as an infiltration of PMNs in lung tissues and subsequent lipid peroxidation (as determined by thiobarbituric acid-reactant substance measurement) and increased production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1 beta). All parameters of inflammation were attenuated by H. perforatum extract. Furthermore, carrageenan induced an upregulation of the expression of adhesion molecules ICAM-1, as well as an increase in the amounts of nitrotyrosine and poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR), as determined by immunohistochemical analysis of lung tissues. The degree of staining for the ICAM-1, nitrotyrosine, and PAR was significantly reduced by H. perforatum extract. Additionally, we demonstrate that these inflammatory events were associated with the activation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) and signal transducer and activator transcription-3 (STAT-31) activation in the lung. NF-kappaB and STAT-3 activation were significantly inhibited by H. perforatum extract treatment. Taken together, our results indicate that prevention of the activation of NF-kappaB and STAT-3 by H. perforatum extract reduces the development of acute inflammation.

Inhibitory effects of flavonoids from Hypericum perforatum on nitric oxide synthase.

The inhibitory effects of six flavonoids from Hypericum perforatum were assessed spectrophotometrically using nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in blood and cerebral homogenate of rats. Of the assayed compounds, quercetin and hyperoside showed concentration-dependent enzyme inhibitory actions. The IC50 values of quercetin for inhibiting NOS in rat cerebral homogenate and blood were 63.06 and 57.54 microM, and those of hyperoside 56.23 and 158.49 microM, respectively. The competitive patterns were discerned with the inhibition of the two flavonoids on NOS in serum and cerebral homogenate (except a mixed type inhibition was observed with quercetin in inhibiting cerebral NOS). Furthermore, similar inhibitions were found for quercetin upon NOS in cerebral homogenate and blood. However, a stronger inhibitory effect of hyperoside on the enzyme was discerned in cerebrum than in blood. These results suggested that the galactose moiety in hyperoside may be associated with the selectivity of the NOS inhibition.

Enhanced neuroprotective effect by combination of bromocriptine and Hypericum perforatum extract against MPTP-induced neurotoxicity in mice.

The present study has been designed to evaluate the combined effect of bromocriptine (BRC) and Hypericum perforatum extract (HPE) on 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced Parkinson's disease in male Swiss Albino mice, which were randomly divided into seven groups of six animals each. Group I served as control. Groups II and III were given 300 mg/kg HPE (po) and 10 mg/kg BRC (i.p.) respectively, once daily for 7 days. The four doses of MPTP (20 mg/kg) were administered intraperitoneally with an interval of 2 h to the groups IV, V, VI and VII. The drug treatment was given to fifth group (10 mg/kg BRC; i.p), sixth group (300 mg/kg HPE; po) and seventh group (300 mg/kg HPE; po and 10 mg/kg BRC; i.p.) once in a day for 7 days and the dose on the first day was given 30 min prior to first MPTP injection. The rotarod test, hang test and forepaw stride length revealed significant improvement by the combined treatment. Dopamine and DOPAC levels were significantly improved (p<0.05). There was a significant reduction in lipid peroxidation after the combined treatment (p<0.05) and the antioxidant status was improved. These findings suggest that the combined effect of BRC and HPE was more pronounced than BRC or HPE alone. So it is concluded that the combined treatment might be preferable to either BRC (or) HPE alone in the effective clinical management of Parkinson's disease.

Does Hypericum perforatum L. extract show any specificity as photosensitizer for HL-60 leukemic cells and cord blood hemopoietic progenitors during photodynamic therapy?

UNLABELLED: Autologous bone marrow transplantation is a therapeutic modality that increases the survival rates for children with malignancies with poor prognosis but relapse rates are high and attributed partially to the existence of residual malignant cells. Photodynamic treatment (PDT) has been developed among purging strategies. We investigated the effect of the methanolic extract (ME) and its polar methanolic fraction (PMF) of Hypericum perforatum L., as a new photosensitizer for the leukemic cell line HL-60 and cord blood (CB) hemopoietic progenitors as well as the subcellular localization of the photosensitizer. METHODS: ME and PMF were prepared after extraction of the dry herb with methanol (ME), followed by liquid-liquid extraction with petroleum ether (PMF). Cells were incubated with the extracts before irradiation with Nd-Yvo Laser. Various concentrations of PMF or ME as well as irradiation doses were tested. Following irradiation, cell viability was determined by trypan blue in continuous liquid cultures for HL-60 cells and in clonogenic assays for CB cells. The subcellular localization of the photosensitizer was determined by confocal microscopy. RESULTS: Laser photoirradiation in the presence of both PMF and ME induces the killing of HL-60 cells. This effect is dose dependent. No CFU-GM and BFU-E growth was observed from CB mononuclear cells under the tested experimental conditions. Confocal microscopy revealed that the extracts localize mainly in the cytoplasm of the cells. CONCLUSIONS: PDT with both PMF and ME induces the killing of HL-60 leukemic cells and the optimal conditions of treatment were determined. This effect of PDT/PMF was also exerted on CB progenitor cells indicative of the non-selective uptake of the photosensitizer by malignant cells. Though this suggests that PDT/PMF cannot be helpful in autologous bone marrow purging, these novel extracts can however be beneficial in the PDT treatment of tumors given their photostability, low toxicity and low cost.

Photophysical properties of Hypericum perforatum L. extracts--novel photosensitizers for PDT.

We report the preparation of the methanolic extract (ME), and polar methanolic fraction (PMF) from the plant Hypericum perforatum L. The extracts contain various photosensitizing constituents such as naphthodianthrone derivatives (in 1.37% w/w), and chlorophylls (in 0.08% w/w). Upon light emission these constituents can be activated, providing photodynamic properties to the extracts, and making them a potent, new class, natural photosensitizers for use in photodynamic therapy (PDT), and photodynamic diagnosis (PDD). The absorbance spectra of the extracts are similar to the spectrum of hypericin, the main naphthodianthrone identified within, with two major bands at 548 and 590 nm. The fluorescence spectra in ethanol exhibit two main bands around 595 and 640 nm, in accordance with the spectrum of pure hypericin. The fluorescence intensity of PMF at 595 nm is only eight times less than the intensity of pure hypericin at the same wavelength, even though its hypericin concentration is only 0.57% w/w. The dependence of the PMF fluorescence signal on the pH of the medium, alone and in comparison with the signal of hypericin, has been investigated. PMF signal fades steadily, and smoothly both in acidic, and basic environment.

Hypericum perforatum L. extract - novel photosensitizer against human bladder cancer cells.

The polar methanolic fraction (PMF) of the Hypericum perforatum L. extract has recently been developed and tested as a novel, natural photosensitizer for use in the photodynamic therapy (PDT), and photodynamic diagnosis (PDD). PMF has been tested on HL-60 leukemic cells and cord blood hemopoietic progenitors. In the present study, the efficacy of PMF as a phototoxic agent against urinary bladder carcinoma has been studied using the T24 (high grade metastatic cancer), and RT4 (primary low grade papillary transitional cell carcinoma) human bladder cancer cells. Following cell culture incubation, PMF was excited using 630 nm laser light. The photosensitizer exhibited significant photocytotoxicity in both cell lines at a concentration of 60microg/ml, with 4-8 J/cm(2) light dose, resulting in cell destruction from 80% to 86%. At the concentration of 20microg/ml PMF was not active in either cell line. These results were compared with the results obtained in the same cell lines, under the same conditions with a clinically approved photosensitizer, Photofrin. Photofrin was used in the maximum clinically tolerable dose of 4microg/ml, and it was also excited with 630 nm laser light. In the T24 cell Photofrin exhibited slightly less photocytotocixity, compared with PMF, resulting in 77% cell death with 8J/cm(2) light dose. However, against the RT4 cells Photofrin resulted in minimal cell death (9%) with even 8J/cm(2) light dose. Finally, the type of cell death induced by PMF photoactivation was studied using flow cytometry and DNA laddering. Cell death by PMF photodynamic action in these two bladder cell lines is caused predominently by apoptosis. The reported significant photocytotoxicity, selective localization, natural abundance, easy, and inexpensive preparation, underscore that the PMF extract hold the promise of being a novel, effective PDT photosensitizer.

Reduction in hypericin-induced phototoxicity by Hypericum perforatum extracts and pure compounds.

Clinical evidence suggests that administration of Hypericum perforatum (Hp) extracts containing the photo-activated hypericin compounds may cause fewer skin photosensitization reactions than administration of pure hypericin. This study was conducted to determine whether the phototoxicity of hypericin in HaCaT keratinocytes could be attenuated by H. perforatum extracts and constituents. Two extracts, when supplemented with 20 microM hypericin: (1) an ethanol re-extraction of residue following a chloroform extraction (denoted ethanol(-chloroform)) (3.35 microM hypericin and 124.0 microM total flavonoids); and (2) a chloroform extract (hypericin and flavonoids not detected), showed 25% and 50% (p<0.0001) less phototoxicity than 20 microM hypericin alone. Two H. perforatum constituents, when supplemented with 20 microM hypericin: (1) 10 microM chlorogenic acid; and (2) 0.25 microM pyropheophorbide, exhibited 24% (p<0.05) and 40% (p<0.05) less phototoxicity than 20 microM hypericin alone. The peroxidation of arachidonic acid was assessed as a measure of oxidative damage by photo-activated hypericin, but this parameter of lipid peroxidation was not influenced by the extracts or constituents. However alpha-tocopherol, a known antioxidant also did not influence the amount of lipid peroxidation induced in this system. These observations indicate that hypericin combined with H. perforatum extracts or constituents may exert less phototoxicity than pure hypericin, but possibly not through a reduction in arachidonic acid peroxidation.

Antioxidant properties and protective effects of a standardized extract of Hypericum perforatum on hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative damage in PC12 cells.

Free radical scavenging and antioxidant activities of a standardized extract of Hypericum perforatum (SHP) were examined for inhibition of lipid peroxidation, for hydroxyl radical scavenging activity and interaction with 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl stable free radical (DPPH). Concentrations between 1 and 50 microg/ml of SHP effectively inhibited lipid peroxidation of rat brain cortex mitochondria induced by Fe2+/ascorbate or NADPH system. The results showed that SHP scavenged DPPH radical in a dose-dependent manner and also presented inhibitory effects on the activity of xanthine oxidase. In contrast, hydroxyl radical scavenging occurs at high doses. The protective effect of the standardized extract against H2O2-induced oxidative damage on the pheochromocytoma cell line PC 12 was investigated by measuring cell viability via 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assays, caspase-3-enzyme activity and accumulation of reactive oxygen species [2',7'-dichlorofluorescin (DCF) assay]. Following 8-h cell exposure to H2O2 (300 microM), a marked reduction in cell survival was observed, which was significantly prevented by SHP (pre-incubated for 24 h) at 1-100 microg/ml. In a separate experiment, different concentrations of the standardized extract (0.1-100 microg/ml) also attenuated the increase in caspase-3 activity and suppressed the H2O2 -induced reactive oxygen species generation. Taken together, these results suggest that SHP shows relevant antioxidant activity both in vitro and in a cell system, by means of inhibiting free radical generation and lipid peroxidation.

Effect of St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) on cytochrome P-450 activity in perfused rat liver.

St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) is a popular over-the-counter dietary supplement and a herbal antidepressant that has been implicated in drug interactions with substrates of several cytochrome P-450 (CYP) isozymes. The effects of the St. John's wort extract (100 mg/kg, i.p., once daily for 10 days) on metabolic activity of CYP450 were assessed in the system of isolated perfused rat liver. The substrates used in this study were tolbutamide (CYP2C6), dextromethorphan (CYP2D2) and midazolam (CYP3A2). Validated HPLC method was used to quantify all compounds of interest. St. John's wort administration affected CYP activity, causing a significant decline in AUC of dextromethorphan [F(4,31)=1511, p<0.001; PLSD, p<0.001] and AUC of midazolam [F(3,25)=221, p<0.001; PLSD, p=0.035] and a significant increase in AUC of tolbutamide [F(3,26)=200, p<0.001; PLSD, p<0.001]. St. John's wort administration resulted in a significant induction of CYP2D2 and CYP3A2, and in a significant inhibition of CYP2C6 metabolic activities.

Magnesium-deficient diet alters depression- and anxiety-related behavior in mice--influence of desipramine and Hypericum perforatum extract.

A relation between magnesium (Mg) status and mood disorders has been suggested, but evidence remains inconsistent. Therefore, we examined in mice whether Mg-depletion would alter behavior evaluated in established animal models of depression and anxiety and whether these effects would be sensitive to antidepressants. Compared to control mice fed with normal diet, mice receiving a low Mg diet (10% of daily requirement) for several weeks displayed increased immobility time in the forced swim test, indicating enhanced depression-like behavior. In addition, the partial Mg-depletion increased anxiety-related behavior in the light/dark and open field test, while locomotor activity or motor coordination was not influenced. Chronic oral administration of desipramine (30 mg/kg/day), or Hypericum extract LI160 (Hyp, 380 mg/kg/day) prevented the "pro-depression-like" forced swim behavior in Mg-depleted mice. Furthermore, the increase in anxiety-related behavior of Mg-depleted mice was abolished in both the open field and light dark test by Hyp. Taken together, we report that Mg-depletion leads to enhanced depression- and anxiety-related behavior in mice, which was further validated by the reversibility of the behavioral changes by known antidepressant and anxiolytic substances. Further, the utility of Mg-depletion as a new screening model for clinically active antidepressant and anxiolytic drugs is suggested.

The antidepressant-like effect of Hypericum caprifoliatum Cham & Schlecht (Guttiferae) on forced swimming test results from an inhibition of neuronal monoamine uptake.

A crude (ECH) and a purified cyclohexane extract (HCP) of Hypericum caprifoliatum and their main phloroglucinol derivative (HC1) were evaluated regarding their action on monoaminergic systems, more precisely on dopamine. In rats and mice forced swimming test, ECH and HCP dose-dependently reduced the immobility time. The effect of the highest dose was prevented by a prior administration of either sulpiride or SCH 23390 (D(2) and D(1) dopamine receptor antagonist, respectively). HCP (360 mg/kg) decreased the locomotor activity of mice. ECH (90 mg/kg) caused hypothermia and potentiated apomorphine-induced (16 mg/kg) hypothermia in mice. HCP and HC1 inhibited, in a concentration-dependent and monophasic manner, the [(3)H]-DA, [(3)H]-NA and [(3)H]-5HT synaptosomal uptakes, but did not prevent the binding of specific ligands to the monoamine transporters. Moreover, when tested at the concentrations corresponding to its IC(50) on [(3)H]-DA uptake, HC1 did not induce a significant [(3)H]-DA release, while at a higher concentration (200 ng/ml) it enhanced significantly (by 12%) the synaptosomal DA release. These data suggest that the antidepressant-like effect of H. caprifoliatum on the forced swimming test is due to an increase in monoaminergic transmission, resulting from monoamine uptake inhibition, more potently of dopamine, which may be related to their phloroglucinol contents.

Standardized Hypericum perforatum reduces oxidative stress and increases gene expression of antioxidant enzymes on rotenone-exposed rats.

Since oxidative stress is implicated in the pathophysiology of dementia and depression, this study was designed to investigate the pro-oxidant activity of rotenone, the protective role of standardized extract of Hypericum perforatum (SHP), as well as the mRNA levels of antioxidant enzymes, in brain homogenates of rats following exposure to rotenone and SHP extract. Quercetin in liposomes, one active constituent, was tested in the same experimental conditions to serve as a positive control. The animals received pretreatment with SHP (4 mg/kg) or quercetin liposomes (25 and 100 mg/kg) 60 min before of rotenone injection (2 mg/kg). All treatments were given intraperitoneally in a volume of 0.5 ml/kg body weight, for 45 days. Rotenone treatment increased activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and levels of malondialdehyde (MDA). The content of reduced glutathione (GSH) was decreased due to chronic rotenone treatment. Rotenone significantly induced the gene expression of CuZnSOD, MnSOD; CAT and GPx in brain. In contrast, SHP extract exerted an antioxidant action which was related with a decreased of MnSOD activity and mRNA levels of some antioxidant enzymes evaluated. Liposomal quercetin treatment resulted in a significant preservation of the activities of antioxidant enzymes and a decreased in the mRNA levels of these antioxidant enzymes. One possible mechanism of action of SHP extract may be related to quercetin in protecting neurons from oxidative damage. Therefore standardized extract of H. perforatum could be a better alternative for depressed elderly patients with degenerative disorder exhibiting elevated oxidative stress status.

Protective effect of Hypericum perforatum in zymosan-induced multiple organ dysfunction syndrome: relationship to its inhibitory effect on nitric oxide production and its peroxynitrite scavenging activity.

Hypericum perforatum is a medicinal plant species containing many polyphenolic compounds, namely flavonoids and phenolic acids. Since polyphenolic compounds have high antioxidant potential, we have investigated the effects of H. perforatum extract on the development of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome caused by zymosan (500 mg/kg, administered i.p. as a suspension in saline) in mice. Organ failure and systemic inflammation in rats was assessed 18 h after administration of zymosan and/or H. perforatum extract and monitored for 12 days (for loss of body weight and mortality). Treatment of mice with H. perforatum extract (30 mg/kg i.p., 1 and 6h after zymosan) attenuated the peritoneal exudation and the migration of polymorphonuclear cells caused by zymosan, pulmonary, intestinal and pancreatic injury, and renal dysfunction as well as the increase in myeloperoxidase in the lung and intestine. Immunohistochemical analysis for inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), nitrotyrosine, and poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) revealed positive staining in lung and intestine tissues obtained from zymosan-injected mice. The degree of staining for nitrotyrosine, iNOS, and PAR was markedly reduced in tissue sections obtained from zymosan-treated mice, which received H. perforatum extract. In conclusion, this study provides evidence, for the first time, that H. perforatum extract attenuates the degree of zymosan-induced multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in mice.

St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) diminishes cognitive impairment caused by the chronic restraint stress in rats.

In this study we tested the hypothesis that St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) may counteract stress-induced memory impairment. Object recognition test and Morris water maze were used to determine whether administration of H. perforatum (350 mg kg(-1) for 21 days), standardized to 0.3% hypericin content, protects against non-spatial and/or spatial memory impairments due to chronic restraint stress (2h daily for 21 days). A group of rats administered the exogenous corticosterone at the dose of 5 mg kg(-1) daily for 21 days, yielding its similar plasma levels as these observed in stress was run in parallel. In the first experiment all rats were tested for recognition memory in the object recognition test. On the following day, the animals were tested in open field and elevated "plus" maze to control for the contribution of respectively, motor and emotional effects of our treatments to the memory tests. In the second experiment, new group of stressed animals was tested for spatial memory in the water maze. We observed that H. perforatum prevented the deleterious effects of both chronic restraint stress and long-term corticosterone on learning and memory as measured in both, the object recognition and the water maze tests. The herb not only prevented stress- and corticosterone-induced memory impairments, but it significantly improved recognition memory (p<0.01) in comparison to control. These results suggest that H. perforatum has a potential to prevent stress memory disorders.

Antifungal activity of some Brazilian Hypericum species.

Crude methanolic extracts and fractions from the aerial parts of seven species of Hypericum (H. caprifoliatum Cham. and Schltdl., H. carinatum Griseb., H. connatum Lam., H. ternum A. St.-Hil., H. myrianthum Cham. and Schltdl., H. piriai Arechav. and H. polyanthemum Klotzsch ex Reichardt) growing in southern Brazil were analyzed for their in vitro antifungal activity against a panel of standardized and clinical opportunistic pathogenic yeasts and filamentous fungi, including dermatophytes, by the agar dilution method. Chloroform and hexane extracts of H. ternum showed the greatest activity among extracts tested.

Effect on prolactin secretion of Echinacea purpurea, hypericum perforatum and Eleutherococcus senticosus.

It has been recently reported that prolactin (PRL) plays an important role in immune system regulation. In this study we investigated the activity of three natural drugs with immunomodulatory activity: Echinacea purpurea (EP), Hypericum perforatum (HP) and Eleutherococcus senticosus (ES) on PRL production. Male rats were orally treated with two different doses (30 and 100 mg/kg) of extract of these drugs for 3 or 15 days. A 3-day treatment was not able to modify PRL serum levels, whereas a 15-day treatment with EP and HP at the higher dose significantly inhibits PRL production. A treatment with ES was always ineffective. A possible mechanism for this effect could be that both HP and EP extracts display a direct dopaminergic activity, although an involvement of the GABA-ergic system cannot be excluded.

Antidepressant action of St. John's Wort, Hypericum perforatum: a test of the circadian hypotheses.

Extracts of the plant St. John's Wort, Hypericum perforatum, are effective for treatment of mild depression. It has been hypothesised that H. perforatum may be acting on the circadian timing system either directly or via a photosensitising action to produce changes in mood. Two experiments were conducted to test these hypotheses. Under constant dark (Experiment 1) or low constant light (Experiment 2) rats were permitted to free-run. Rats were then treated with a 'high' (616mg/kg/day; n = 8 per experiment) or 'low' (308 mg/kg/day; n = 8 per experiment) dose of H. perforatum or a control solution (n = 8 per experiment) in drinking water, and circadian locomotor rhythms examined for alterations of period. A minor shortening of mean period (2.4 min) was observed on cessation of H. perforatum treatment in the low-dose group in Experiment 2, and was considered to be a measurement artifact and of no clinical value. Otherwise, no significant differences in free-running period between treatment groups were observed in either study, indicating that H. perforatum has no direct or photosensitising effect on the mammalian circadian system. These results suggest that the antidepressant action of H. perforatum is not mediated by a circadian mechanism.

Biosynthesis of the hyperforin skeleton in Hypericum calycinum cell cultures.

Hyperforin is an important antidepressant constituent of Hypericum perforatum (St. John's wort). Cell cultures of the related species H. calycinum were found to contain the homologue adhyperforin and to a low extent hyperforin, when grown in BDS medium in the dark. Adhyperforin formation paralleled cell culture growth. Cell-free extracts from the cell cultures contained isobutyrophenone synthase activity catalyzing the condensation of isobutyryl-CoA with three molecules of malonyl-CoA to give phlorisobutyrophenone, i.e. the hyperforin skeleton. The formation of the hyperforins during cell culture growth was preceded by an increase in isobutyrophenone synthase activity. The cell cultures also contained benzophenone synthase and chalcone synthase activities which are involved in xanthone and flavonoid biosyntheses, respectively. The three type III polyketide synthases were separated by anion exchange chromatography.
