Background
Hypericin is a naphtodianthrone that acts as an antibiotic and non-specific kinase inhibitor. It inhibits the action of dopamine beta-hydroxylase, leading to increased dopamine levels. Hypericin can also cause photosensitivity when ingested beyond threshold. And becase it also accumulates in cancerous tissues, it can be used as an indicator of cancerous cells (1, 2).
