摘要: An Erratum has been published for this article in Phytotherapy Research 14(8) 2000, 661. The crude methanol extracts of three species the genus Hypericum (H. brasiliense, H. caprifoliatum and myrianthum) native to South Brazil were evaluated antidepressant activity according forced swimming test, a classical animal model drug screening. Among studied, only showed activity. Thus, plant was fractionated with solvents increasing polarity (petroleum ether; petroleum ether: chloroform (1:1); methanol). The ether fraction one which demonstrated at dose 270 mg/kg/day (i.p.). chemical analyses that is rich phenolic compounds, mainly phloroglucinol type. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
