With the acceleration of the pace of life and the change of ideas, people pay more and more attention to their own health care. Cordycepin, the main effective component of Artificial Cordyceps militaris, has a good prospect in the pharmaceutical market. Because cordycepin has obvious pharmacological activity, many health products, health food, cosmetics and drugs based on cordycepin have been put on the market, and have attracted the attention of experts at home and abroad. It is reported that cordycepin has been put into clinical use as a new anti-cancer and anti-virus drug in the United States. With the further research, the commercial value of cordycepin is immeasurable.
CordycepinAs a kind of natural medicine, it has the function of Supplementing Yin and Yang with Cordyceps sinensis in traditional Chinese medicine and regulating the balance of the human body in both directions; It has a better effect in protecting the liver, kidney and lungs because of its purer ingredients, and it can greatly replenish qi and blood. It can eliminate such diseases as dysmenorrhea, migraine and cervical hyperplasia that can not be cured now. From the perspective of Western medicine, cordycepin has many pharmacological effects, such as anti-tumor, anti-aging, antibacterial, anti-virus, immune regulation, improving metabolism, scavenging free radicals and so on. It has a good prospect of clinical application. At present, the research of cordycepin is becoming an extremely active field in the fields of pharmaceutical chemistry, anti-aging, beauty and health products.
Many studies have shown that it has the potential to treat or assist in the treatment of various diseases, including inflammatory diseases and cancer. The biological functions of cordycepin include the following aspects: causing cell death, preventing cell growth, and inhibiting a variety of Inflammation gene expression, reduce cell migration, etc. Animal experiments show that cordycepin can prevent inflammation and reduce tumorigenesis. The molecular mechanisms of biological effects of cordycepin include regulating the expression of genes related to inflammation and tumorigenesis; Inhibit the phosphorylation of many important kinase substrates or directly affect protein synthesis. At present, the studies on the efficacy of cordycepin mainly include inhibition of cell proliferation, induction of apoptosis, inhibition of cell migration, invasion and tumorigenesis, inhibition of inflammation, inhibition of adipocyte differentiation, inhibition of protein synthesis, inhibition of platelet aggregation and promotion of fat metabolism; At present, the research on cordycepin is related to cell proliferation, apoptosis， There are many studies on cell migration and tumor formation. In addition, the research on inflammation, fat differentiation, protein synthesis and metabolism is also a new hot spot.
In order to meet the needs of society, in recent years, the research on the culture of Artificial Cordyceps militaris and the research and development of its extracted products have been paid attention to. Cordycepin will also be more widely used.
