Hyperforin
Based on 3 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Hyperforin is a transient receptor canonical 6 (TRPC6) channels activator. Hyperforin modulates Ca2+ levels by activating Ca2+-conducting non-selective canonical TRPC6 channels and triggers adipose tissue thermogenesis via the Dlat-AMPK signaling axis to suppress obesity. Hyperforin also shows diverse pharmacological activities including anti-depression, anti-tumor, anti-dementia, anti-diabetes. Hyperforin modulates γδ T cells to secret IL-17α, improves Imiquimod (HY-B0180)-induced psoriasis-like mice model.

In Vitro
Hyperforin has a multi-directional mechanism of action. It blocks conductance of ligand-gated (GABA, NMDA, and AMPA receptors) and voltage-gated channels (Ca2+, K+, and Na+)[2].
Hyperforin (0.1, 1, 10 μM; 2 h) reduces the expression and secretion of IL-17A in γδ T cell in vitro cultured murine splenic γδ T cells[3].
Hyperforin (0.1, 1, 10 μM; 2 h) suppresses phosphorylation of MAPK and STAT3 pathways in TNF-α stimulated HaCaT cells[3].
Hyperforin (IC50=3.7 μmol/L) inhibits the microvascular tube formation and proliferation of HDMEC in a dose-dependent manner without toxic effects[4].
