Hypericum olympicum
Greek mountain Hypericum; used in traditional Greek medicine similar to H. perforatum.
Hypericum olympicum, a Greek mountain species related to St. John's Wort, is traditionally used for depression, wound healing, and nerve pain. Modern research indicates potential antidepressant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities, attributed to hypericin, pseudohypericin, hyperforin, and flavonoids. Evidence is limited to pilot studies and traditional use.
The antidepressant effect is primarily mediated by hyperforin, which inhibits the reuptake of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine, and by hypericin, which weakly inhibits monoamine oxidase (MAO). Anti-inflammatory actions involve flavonoid inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. Antimicrobial activity is linked to hypericin and pseudohypericin, which generate reactive oxygen species upon light activation, disrupting microbial membranes.
