CONT

The drug St. John's wort consists of the dried above-ground part of "Hypericum perforatum L", collected shortly before or during the flowering period. It contains not less than 0.04% naphthodianthrones of the hypericin group (so-called total hypericin). ... Other possible active ingredients are polymerization products of hypericin, the flavonoids quercetin, hyperoside, quercitrin, isoquercitrin, rutin, campherol, luteolin, and 13-118-biapigenin, the total concentration of which can amount to 2% to 4%.

CONT

... we have compared the bioactivities of the two most abundant flavonoid glycosides that we have purified from onions (quercetin-3,4'-diglucoside and quercetin-4'-glucoside) to the quercetin aglycone, and also to the more commonly studied commercially-available flavonoid glycosides, rutin (quercetin-3-rutinoside) and isoquercitrin (quercetin-3-glucoside).
