Abstract
:
Plants from the genus Hypericum, one genus of the Hypericaceae family, have attracted a
lot of attention for their potential pharmaceutical applications. Most of the studies in the literature focus
on H. perforatum L. (common St. John's wort), whose complex spectrum of bioactive compounds
makes this species one of the top herbal remedies and supplements in the world. It is also important to
compare the studies on other Hypericum species, both from the phytochemical and biological point of
view. The aim of this review was to provide an update of most recent studies about biological investigations
of plants belonging to Hypericum genus. The metabolic profiles of Hypericum spp. were also discussed
in order to present a spectrum of secondary metabolites not previously identified in this genus.
