Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) in Cordyceps militaris |
APIs find application in high-quality drugs that treat diseases pertaining to oncology, cardiology, CNS and neurology, orthopedics, pulmonology, gastroenterology, nephrology, ophthalmology, and endocrinology. APIs can potentially create a more sustainable healthcare system by introducing more innovative products.
It's worth noting that the health benefits of cordyceps are thought to be due to a combination of compounds, not just adenosine. Other compounds found in cordyceps, such as polysaccharides and cordycepin, are believed to cntribute to its health effects as well.
List of APIs in Cordyceps Militaris
- Cordycepin
Cordycepin, or 3'-deoxyadenosine, is a derivative of the nucleoside adenosine, differing from the latter by the replacement of the hydroxy group in the 3' position with a hydrogen.
- Adenosine
Adenosine is a molecule found in all living cells and is involved in a number of important biological processes, including energy production and regulation of blood flow.
The amount of adenosine in cordyceps can vary depending on a number of factors, including the species of Cordyceps, the location where it was grown, and the extraction method used. On average, cordyceps contains about 0.3-0.5% adenosine by weight.
- Polysaccharides
Polysaccharides are major classes of biomolecules. They are long chains of carbohydrate molecules, composed of several smaller monosaccharides. These complex bio-macromolecules functions as an important source of energy in animal cell and form a structural component of a plant cell.
