Description

Protohypericin is a monosodium salt that is the active constituent of hypericum perforatum. It has been shown to have antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties in vitro assays. Protohypericin also has a great affinity for neuronal tissue, which may be due to its ability to inhibit the uptake of monoamines into nerve terminals in the brain. This compound also has locomotor activity and granule neurons, as well as metabolic disorders, such as insulin-resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and obesity. Protohypericin is an analytical method for measuring concentrations of this compound in plasma or serum. The pharmacokinetic properties of protohypericin are not well understood.
