Cordyceps species including Cordyceps bassiana are a notable anti-cancer dietary supplement. Previously, we identified several compounds with anti-cancer activity from the butanol fraction (Cb-BF) of Cordyceps bassiana. To expand the structural value of Cb-BF-derived anti-cancer drugs, we employed various chemical moieties to produce a novel Cb-BF-derived chemical derivative, KTH-13-amine-monophenyl [4-isopropyl-2-(1-phenylethyl) aniline (KTH-13-AMP)], which we tested for anti-cancer activity. KTH-13-AMP suppressed the proliferation of MDA-MB-231, HeLa, and C6 glioma cells. KTH-13-AMP also dose-dependently induced morphological changes in C6 glioma cells and time-dependently increased the level of early apoptotic cells stained with annexin V-FITC. Furthermore, the levels of the active full-length forms of caspase-3 and caspase-9 were increased. In contrast, the levels of total forms of caspases-3, caspase-8, caspase-9, and Bcl-2 were decreased in KTH-13-AMP treated-cells. We also confirmed that the phosphorylation of STAT3, Src, and PI3K/p85, which is linked to cell survival, was diminished by treatment with KTH-13-AMP. Therefore, these results strongly suggest that this compound can be used to guide the development of an anti-cancer drug or serve as a lead compound in forming another strong anti-proliferative agent.

To estimate the inhibitory effect of some mushroom extract on melanin biosynthesis, we tested its inhibitory effects of five mushroom extracts on tyrosinase promoter in Bl6 mouse melanoma cells. In five mushroom extracts, Cordyceps militaris and Poria cocos exhibited low repression effect on tyrosinase promoter. However, Ganoderma lucidum, Paecilomyces japonicus, Phellinus linteus showed high repression effect, Especially, Paecilomyces japonicus and Phellinus linteus extracts had very higher repression effect approximately $81{\sim}83%\;at\;100{\mu}g/mL$. In the MTT assay, Paecilomyces japonicus and Phellinus linteus extracts exhibited high cytotoxicity. Therefore, repression effect of the extracts were closely connected with cytotoxicity.

Cordyceps cardinalis successfully produced its fruiting bodies from multi-ascospore isolates. However, subcultures of multiascospore isolates could not produce fruiting bodies after few generations. Fruiting body production also differed from sector to sector of the same isolate. Single ascospore isolates were then co-inoculated in combinations of two to observe the fruiting characteristics. Combinations of certain isolates produced perithecial stromata formation, whereas other combinations did not produce any fruiting bodies. These results show that C. cardinalis is a heterothallic fungus, requiring two isolates of opposite mating types for fruiting body production. It was also shown that single ascospore isolates are hermaphrodites.

본 연구는 밀리타리스 동충하초의 교배형 유전자인 MAT1-1과 MAT1-2 두 종류에 특이적인 프라이머를 사용하여 multiplex PCR을 실시하였고, 그 결과 형성된 MAT1-1과 MAT1-2에 대한 233-bp와 191-bp에서 DNA 밴드를 통해 교배형 및 교배여부를 확인하였고 자실체 특성검정을 통해 품종특성이 우수한 새로운 동충하초 '도원홍초 2호'를 개발하였다. 신품종 '도원홍초 2호'의 자실체는 곤봉형이고 밝은 주황색을 띠었으며, 코디세핀 함량은 0.33%였고 자좌의 굵기와 길이는 각각 3.5 mm와 7.1 cm였다. '도원홍초'와 비교할 때, 새로운 '도원홍초 2호'의 수량은 7%가 증수되었고 경도가 높은 특징을 보였다. 균사생장의 적온은 $20{\sim}25^{\circ}C$였고 버섯 발생의 적온은 $18{\sim}22^{\circ}C$였으며, 접종에서부터 자실체 발생까지의 기간은 49.7일이 소요되었다. 신품종 '도원홍초2호'는 교배형 분자마커를 육종과정에 이용하여 효율성을 높였으며, 우수한 재배적 특성으로 동충하초 인공재배 및 산업적 생산에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

밀리타리스 동충하초는 다양한 생리적 및 약리적 가치를 가지고 있는 약용버섯으로 인정받으며 많은 연구가 있어왔다. 교배를 위해 자낭포자를 분리한 후 균사생장, 균사밀도, 자실체 및 자낭각 형성 여부 등에 대한 검토를 하였고, 그 중에서 우수한 특성의 균주를 이용하여 교배와 선발과정을 거쳐 신품종 '도원홍초'를 육성하였다. 신품종 '도원홍초'는 SDAY배지 및 $10{\sim}25^{\circ}C$ 온도조건에서 균사 생장이 양호하였다. 신품종의 자실체는 곤봉형이고 밝은 주황색을 띠었으며 코디세핀 함량은 0.34% 였고 자좌의 평균길이는 6.1 cm였다. '예당 3호'와 비교할 때, 새로운 품종 '도원홍초'의 수량은 9% 증수되었고 자실체의 경도가 높은 특징을 보였다. 균사생장 적온은 $22{\sim}25^{\circ}C$였고, 버섯 발생 적온은 $18{\sim}22^{\circ}C$였으며 접종에서부터 자실체 발생까지의 기간은 45일이 소요되었다. 신품종 '도원홍초'는 동충하초 인공재배 및 산업적 생산에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, we investigated the effect of solid culture medium on the production of cordycepin in Cordyceps militaris. The regression equation was expressed as follows: Y₁ = 755.3-58.6625X₁+4.79432E-14X₂-46.6625X₃-5.66269E-14X₁X₂-0.025X₁X₃+1.62475E-14X₂X₃-160.6625X₁²+0.0125X₂²-206.9625X₃², where, Y represents the value of cordycepin content (㎍/g), X₁ corresponds to the weight of M. alternatus in solid culture medium (g/bottle), X₂ to the water content of the solid culture medium (%), and X₃ to the culture period (day). The solid culture medium was optimized using the response surface methodology, and the optimal medium composition was as follows: the weight of M. alternatus in solid culture medium and water content were 16.2% and 100.7% (20.14 mL water/20 g solid culture medium), respectively, with a culture period of 39 days. Under these conditions, the cordycepin content of the fruiting bodies reached 150.0 ㎍/g (actual value). The supplementation of M. alternatus in solid culture for improved cordycepin content of C. militaris seems to be a promising alternative to wild and solid cultivation.

Cordyceps militaris, a well-known traditional Chinese medicine, has multiple health-promoting effects. It is used as a herbal remedy and health food in Asian countries. Cultured mycelia are often used as a substitute for natural C. militaris. In the present study, the mycelia and fruiting bodies of artificially cultured C. militaris were analyzed using a metabolomics approach. The protein and crude fat contents of the mycelia were substantially higher than those of the fruiting bodies. The top three abundant amino acids in the mycelia were proline (3.9 g/100 g), aspartic acid (2.9 g/100 g), and glutamic acid (2.7 g/100 g). The carbohydrate content was similar in the fruiting bodies and mycelia. Analysis revealed that both the fruiting bodies and mycelia are rich in phenolic compounds and exhibit antioxidant activity. Further, six metabolites were significantly different between the mycelia and fruiting bodies. The levels of Ca, glucose, Mg, and Se were higher in the mycelia than in the fruiting bodies. In contrast, mannitol and Zn were more abundant in the fruiting bodies. The current study provides a comprehensive metabolic profile of the mycelia and fruiting bodies of artificially cultured C. militaris. Such an exercise is potentially important for understanding the metabolism of C. militaris and facilitating the use of cultured mycelia as a supplement to C. militaris fruiting bodies in traditional Chinese medicine.

We investigated whether the mushroom extracts can protect neuronal death and ameliorate memory deficits in Alzheimer"s disease induced by $\beta$-amyloid peptide[A$\beta$(25-35)]. Cellular model of Alzheimer"s disease was produced by using SK-N-SH human neuronal cells treated with $A\beta$. Treatment with 40uM $A\beta$ for 48hours caused a 46% loss of cell viability. First, we examined the effects of 22 mushroom extracts on neuronal death using MTT assay. We found that 3 mushroom extracts increased viability of the cells from 46% to 87%. (omitted)

The purpose of the present study is to develop a simple, fast and sensitive LC/MS method for simultaneous separation and the determination of an active component in the oriental medicinal mushroom Cordyceps militaris. Based on this work, the contents of cordycepin in Cordyceps militaris fruiting cultivated on various media were determined and compared. And also, the nutritional components such as minerals and vitamins were determined in order to provide useful information to consumer as a food material. The analysis methods of nutritional components were chosen on the basis of AOAC. The optimum separation for cordycepin was achieved using a solvent gradient consisting of the mixture of 0.1% formic acid in methanol (solvent B) in a background of 0.1% formic acid in water (solvent A) as a mobile phase and a 3.0${\times}$150 Waters XTera column. Selective ion monitoring (SIR) mode ([M+H]+ at m/z 252) was used for quantitative analysis of cordycepin. The cultivated Cordyceps militaris on various media contained 1~14 /g of cordycepin, 0.65~1.08% of thiamine, 0.86~7.17% of riboflavin, and 3.01~5.26% of niacin. The content of mineral components varied on categories, especially contained 500~3500% of potassium as a major mineral. Cordycepin, niacin and potassium were found much higher in the fruiting cultivated with soy power media (gold 10) than other media.
