Pseudohypericin is a specific inhibitor of protein kinase C and D-β-Hydroxylase. Also, it is used in determination of potential drug candidate molecules of Hypericum perforatum for COVID-19 treatment.

ChEBI: Pseudohypericin is an ortho- and peri-fused polycyclic arene.

One of the major bioactive constituents of St. Johnμs wort (Hypericum perforatum). Implicated in the antidepressant efficacy of St. Johnμs wort.

Pseudohypericin will be extracted by the means of water immersion means pre-treatment of Hypericum perforatum raw materials, by alcohol extraction to extract solvent containing hypericin and pseudohypericin and other active ingredients, through the heatin

This anti-retroviral agent (FW = 520.45 g/mol) inhibits protein kinase C with an IC50 value of 28.7 μM and dopamine b-hydroxylase with IC50 = 3 μM. Pseudohypericin is a component of St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum). Target(s): dopamine b-hydroxylase; inositoltrisphosphate 3-kinase; and protein kinase C.
