CAS 84082-80-4: St. John's wort

Description: St. John's wort, scientifically known as Hypericum perforatum, is a flowering plant recognized for its medicinal properties, particularly in the treatment of mild to moderate depression. The chemical substance associated with the CAS number 84082-80-4 refers to hypericin, one of the primary active compounds found in St. John's wort. Hypericin is a polycyclic aromatic compound that exhibits a characteristic red color and is known for its photodynamic properties. The plant also contains other bioactive constituents, including hyperforin, which contribute to its therapeutic effects. St. John's wort is typically administered in various forms, such as extracts, capsules, or teas, and is believed to exert its antidepressant effects by inhibiting the reuptake of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. However, it is important to note that St. John's wort can interact with a variety of medications, potentially reducing their efficacy, and should be used with caution under medical supervision. Its use is also associated with side effects, including gastrointestinal disturbances and photosensitivity.
