“…Couladis and co-workers tested the activity of EO isolated from the aerial parts of H. rumeliacum against three fungi (Candida albicans, C. tropicalis, and C. glabrata) and reported MIC values in the range of 4.75-6.34 mg/ml (Couladis et al 2003). Saroglou et al (2007) (Kızıl et al 2004). Similarly, EO of H. hyssopifolium var.…”

Phytochemical composition of Hypericum genus has been investigated for many years. In the recent past, studies on the essential oils (EO) of this genus have been progressing and many of them have reported interesting biological activities. Variations in the EO composition of Hypericum species influenced by seasonal variation, geographic distribution, phenological cycle and type of the organ in which EO are produced and/or accumulated have also been reported. Although many reviews attributed to the characterization as well as biological activities of H. perforatum crude extracts have been published, no review has been published on the EO composition and biological activities of Hypericum species until recently (Crockett in Nat Prod Commun 5(9): 1493-1506, 2010 Bertoli et al. in Global Sci Books 5:29-47, 2011). In this article, we summarize and update information regarding the composition and biological activities of Hypericum species EO. Based on experimental work carried out in our laboratory we also mention possible biotechnology approaches envisaging EO improvement of some species of the genus.
