Hypericin has been shown to specifically inhibit T-type calcium channel activity. Hypericum extract containing hypericin also inhibits T-type calcium channel activity. Moreover, other chemicals in Hypericum extract showed a synergistic effect to hypericin. In view of this, hypericin or hypericin-containing Hypericum extract can be used as T-channel blockers. Hypericum extract, extract of other species of the Hypericum genus, extract of other plants containing hypericin, hypericin derivatives, hypericin analogs, such as pseudohypericin, and other Hypericum extract constituents can be used as therapeutics targeted at T-type calcium channels for treatment of diseases associated with T-channel abnormality. Methods for administering hypericin and Hypericum extract are disclosed.

L'invention concerne une hypéricine inhibant l'activité du canal du calcium de type T. L'extrait d'Hypericum contenant de l'hypéricine inhibe aussi l'activité du canal du calcium de type T. De plus, d'autres produits chimiques contenus dans l'extrait d'Hypericum font preuve d'un effet synergique sur l'hypéricine. En l'occurrence, l'hypéricine ou l'extrait d'Hypericum contenant de hypéricine peut être utilisé(e) comme agent bloquant le canal T. L'extrait d'Hypericum, l'extrait d'autres espèces de l'Hypericum, l'extrait d'autres plantes contenant de l'hypéricine, l'hypéricine, ses dérivés, ses analogues, tels que la pseudohypéricine et d'autres constituants de l'extrait d'Hypericum peuvent être utilisés comme agents thérapeutiques dirigés contre les canaux de calcium de type T pour traiter des maladies associées à l'anomalie du canal T. Font aussi l'objet de cette invention des procédés d'administration de l'hypéricine et de l'extrait d'Hypericum.
