From: Families yielding important phytopharmaceuticals in Fundamentals of Pharmacognosy and Phytotherapy, by Michael Heinrich, J. Barnes, S. Gibbons, and E. Williamson, October 2003, ISBN:0443071322, pp.320 -- www.fleshandbones.com/readingroom/pdf/747.pdf
This small family was formerly part of the Guttiferae and is of pharmaceutical importance because of St Johns wort, which in the last decade of the 20th century became one of the most important medicinal plants in Western medicine.
Important medicinal plants from the family
Hypericum perforatum L. (St Johns wort) has clinically
well-established effects in mild forms of depression. It has also been employed
topically for inflammatory conditions of the skin.
Morphological characteristics of the family
The leaves are opposite, often dotted with glands. A characteristic feature
of this family is a secondary increase in the number of stamens (polyandrous
flowers). The fruit are usually capsules, but berries may occur in some species.
Distribution
This family, with about 900 species, has its main area of distribution in the
tropics and in temperate regions.
Chemical characteristics of the family
The former name Guttiferae is an important indicator of a characteristic
chemical feature: the presence of resins, balsam and other glands containing
excretory products. For example, the hypericin glands, with a characteristic red
colour, are present especially in the flowers and contain naphthodianthrones,
including hypericin (Fig. 4.8) and pseudohypericin, which are characteristic for
some sections of the genus. Typical for the family in general are also xanthones
(found nearly exclusively in this family and in the Gentianaceae). The genus is
known to accumulate flavonoids and their glycosides (rutoside, hyperoside), as
well as hyperforin (Fig. 4.8) and its derivatives, which are derived from the
terpenoid pathway.
