abstract: The original article to which this Erratum refers was published in Phytotherapy Research 14(5) 2000, 344-346. Following the publication of this paper in the August 2000 issue of Phytotherapy Research (14(5):344-346), it has come to our attention that there is a misleading statement regarding conclusions cited from the work of Butterweck et al. 1998. The discussion in the recent PTR paper states that those authors are 'in favour of the hypothesis that the antidepressant activity is due to the hypericin only'. We wish to make it clear that this is not the case, and the Butterweck paper actually concludes that 'both naphthodianthrones must be considered as active constituents of the crude extract of H. perforatum. However, previous studies indicate that the other consitutuents of the crude drug also have activity'. The authors apologize for this error and are happy to correct it.
