Hypericin, an extract from Hypericum perforatum (St. John's Wort), was first isolated from this Guttiferae family plant in 1957. As a dianthrone compound, it represents the most biologically active substance in Hypericum perforatum. Characterized by a slightly bitter taste and near insolubility in water, it emits a distinctive aromatic fragrance. Hypericin exhibits central nervous system inhibitory and sedative effects, and is incorporated into health supplements to enhance immunity. In Europe (particularly Germany), it is utilized as an antidepressant. Notably, hypericin demonstrates potent antiviral properties, directly targeting viruses such as classical swine fever and foot-and-mouth disease pathogens, while also showing effective elimination against highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses.
