As early as the 1980s, Memel et al reported the anti-HIV reverse transcriptase effect of hypericin: Hypericin 2 ug/rnl was cultured with HIV, and the results showed that the HIV reverse transcriptase activity was reduced by 75%. De-clervp believes that the anti-HIV mechanism of hypericin may be to inhibit reverse transcriptase, and hypericin does not affect the transcription and translation of the virus, but interferes with the virus. Gao Ying et al. studied the interaction between hypericin and HIV virus reverse transcriptase at the molecular level to explore the antiviral mechanism of hypericin compounds, and their research can provide a theoretical model for the drug design of HIV virus inhibitors and important references.

Infections caused by Lambert-positive strains.


4. Anti-tumor and anti-cancer effects

Hyperforin can inhibit the growth of MT-450 breast cancer cells, and the mechanism may be that hyperforin activates the mitochondria-mediated signal transduction pathway, thereby inducing tumor cell apoptosis. Hypericin has inhibitory effect on the growth of leukemia cell lines K562 and U937 and malignant glioma cell line LN229, and confirmed the synergistic effect of hypericin and hypericin in inhibiting the growth of K562 and U937 cells.
