| Name | Hypericin |
| Description | Hypericin (Cyclosan) is a natural anthraquinone compound, an extract of Hypericum perforatum, which inhibits PKC, MAO, dopamine-beta-hydroxylase, reverse transcriptase, telomerase, and CYP, etc. Hypericin exhibits antimicrobial, antiviral, antitumor, and antidepressant activities. |
| In vitro | METHODS: Erythrocytes were treated with Bioymifi (10-100 µM) for 24 h. Flow cytometry was used to characterize the hemolytic and bactericidal properties of Bioymifi and the potential molecular mechanisms.
RESULTS: Bioymifi exerted a dose-responsive, calcium-independent hemolytic effect, reduced erythrocyte hemoglobin, and significantly increased membrane-bound protein V, Fluo4, and DCF-positive cells, as well as a dual effect on forward and lateral light scattering. [1]
METHODS: Neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (nrvm) were treated with Bioymifi (10 µM) for 24 h, and the expression levels of target proteins were detected by Western Blot.
RESULTS: The expression of DR5 was higher than that of NRVF in Bioymifi-treated nrvm. [2] |
| In vivo | METHODS: To investigate the role of DR5 activation in the heart, Bioymifi (5 mg/kg/d) micro-osmotic pump was administered to C57BL/6 mice once daily for two weeks.
RESULTS: Bioymifi administration resulted in hypertrophy at the level of cardiac organs and cardiomyocytes, but did not affect cardiomyocyte death or cardiac fibrosis. [2] |
