Abstract
Objective:Cultivated Cordyceps sinensis powder has been used as clinical drug and healthy food to nour-ish the lung and kidney,which solves the problem of serious shortage of wild C.sinensis.This study aims to explore the chemical components and compared their anti-fibrotic effects in cultivated C.sinensis.Methods:Nucleosides,sterols and polysaccharides were separated and purified from cultivated C.sinen-sis,and analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography,gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and chemical chromogenic methods,respectively.In high glucose-induced rat mesangial cell models,fibronectin and type 1 collagen were used as evaluation indicators.Results:There were 10 kinds of nucleosides and one sterol in cultivated C.sinensis.The contents of nucle-osides,sterols and polysaccharides in the cultivated C.sinensis were close to 2％,0.55％and 4.4％,respec-tively.Furthermore,nucleoside,sterol and polysaccharide components exhibited varying degrees of anti-fibrotic activity.The nucleoside components and sterol components inhibited the expression of extracel-lular matrix more effectively in the three main components.Conclusion:Cultivated C.sinensis remains the similar compounds with the wild C.sinensis,and nucleo-sides and sterols may be the main active substances that contribute to its anti-fibrotic effects.The project of this study may provide valuable information on further optimization of more effective remedies with few side effects based on cultivated C.sinensis.
