| Abstract | St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum L., Hypericaceae) is among the first medicinal plants that had been scientifically investigated for its antibacterial, spasmolytic, antiseptic, and personal care products in the former Soviet Union. In traditional Russian medicine St. John’s wort is considered to be the panacea for many health problems. Preparations are taken internally for winter depression, added in the beverage of the traditional Russian soft drink, “Baikal,” and externally for wound healing and other skin care formulations. In Russia, most of the commercial supply of Hypericum is known to originate from the wild collections, but a small quantity of H. perforatum is also cultivated. However, much of the wild collected St. John’s wort for commercial or home use usually constitutes both H. perforatum and H. maculatum. The objective of this study was to determine the chemical composition (hypericins, tannins, and total extractive matter) of H. perforatum and H. maculatum populations at different developmental stages. |
