Saint John’s worts or goatweeds are mostly perennial flowering plants in the Hypericaceae family, formerly under Clusiaceae family. Teas and macerations of common traditional medicines modern depression cancer therapies. The most notable bioactive compounds Hypericum hyperforin hypericin. While contains a variety carotenoid phenolic compounds, which well documented, there is little available information on tocopherols almost none tocotrienols. Considering frequency tocotrienol derivatives...

Now under Clusiaceae and Hypericaceae, Clusia Hypericum were previously categorized one family until they divided in 2003 by the APG III system. The genus is characterized presence of tocotrienol derivatives with antiangiogenic properties, only perforatum tocochromanol content has been studied genus. Twelve species analyzed: H. aegypticum, calycinum, empetrifolium, lancasteri, olympicum f. minus ‘Sulphureum’, perforatum, xylosteifolium, C. fluminensis, minor, odorata, palmicida, tocuchensis....

Hypericum perforatum L., commonly known as St. John’s wort, is a widely distributed herbaceous plant utilized in traditional and phytomedicinal applications, particularly for its hydrophilic bioactive compounds. It often used treating early depressive states. In this study, we focused on reporting the tocotrienols—lipophilic phytochemicals with health-promoting properties—in wort. H. flowerheads predominantly contained tocotrienols compared tocopherols (54 30 mg/100 g dry weight,...

St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum L.) is an ornamental and medical plant, distributed worldwide, which rich in diverse secondary metabolites. The discovery of the presence tocotrienols (rare prenyllipids) H. marks a new chapter demanding deeper understanding accumulation these lipophilic biomolecules. Three wild populations were harvested Latvia at three different locations from 2022 to 2024 separated into stems, leaves, flower buds, flowers. Plant samples freeze-dried, ground,...

St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) is a medicinal plant known for its bioactive compounds, including tocopherols and tocotrienols, which possess antioxidant anti-inflammatory properties. These compounds play vital roles in the plant's metabolism have potential applications cosmetic pharmaceutical industries. However, content of these different anatomical parts plant, as well influence environmental factors, such year collection, remain underexplored. This study examined tocochromanols H....

New cold‐pressed oil recovered from seeds of Japanese quince ( Chaenomeles japonica (Thunb.) Lindl. ex Spach, family: Rosaceae), obtained as a by‐product fruit processing, was characterized and compared with nine well‐known oils. The seed had the highest amounts tocopherols, β‐carotene, total phenolic compounds (726.20; 10.77 64.03 mg/kg, respectively) lowest amount chlorophyll (0.12 mg/kg) peroxide value (0.59 mEq O 2 /kg) to sesame, poppy, peanut, flaxseed, pumpkin, sunflower, almond,...

St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum L.) has been extensively utilized across various traditional medicinal systems, including ancient Greek medicine, Chinese and Islamic medicine. H. is a well-known plant due to the presence of hypericin hyperforin, which are natural antidepressants. Recent studies indicate that inflorescences wild source rare tocotrienols, primarily δ-T3. Similar lacking for cultivated species. was grown three years. At full bloom each year, cut separated into its parts:...
