The active ingredients in St. John's Wort work synergistically to promote an antidepressant action. Hypericin and hyperforin, present in St. John's Wort, have been studied for their ability to inhibit the reuptake of neurotransmitters, in particular serotonin, noradrenalin and dopamine. This action helps improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression.
St John's Wort acts by modifying the membrane of neurons, increasing intracellular sodium levels and opening TRPC6 channels, thereby disrupting neurotransmitter reuptake at synapses. In addition, it activates various intracellular pathways involved in mood regulation, such as the Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MAPK/ERK) pathway and the phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) pathway.
In addition to its antidepressant properties, St. John's Wort has anxiolytic and hypnotic effects. It helps reduce anxiety symptoms and promotes quality sleep by prolonging REM sleep duration. In addition, it acts as an anti-stress agent in defensive reactions, reducing alcohol consumption in addicts.
St John's Wort extracts contain flavonoids with antioxidant properties, which protect neurons against oxidative damage and reduce the accumulation of β-amyloid associated with Alzheimer's disease. In addition, St John's Wort acts as a cytoprotective agent by reducing glutamate-induced cell death and regulating APP metabolism, which may have neuroprotective implications.
St John's Wort has analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, helping to relieve acute and chronic pain, including neuropathic pain. It also boosts the efficacy of opioid analgesics and reduces inflammation by inhibiting the production of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and nitric oxide (NO).
