Influence of Culture Conditions on Bioactive Compounds in Cordyceps militaris: A Comprehensive Review

Cordyceps militaris is a medicinal fungus used in traditional medicine for treating fatigue, boosting immunity, and fighting cancer. This review explains how growing conditions—such as the type of grain or insect substrate used, light exposure, temperature, and nutrient balance—dramatically affect the production of beneficial compounds like cordycepin. The research shows that mixing grains with insect-based materials and using specific light wavelengths can significantly increase the potency of these medicinal fungi, making them more effective for health applications.

Bioactive Steroids Bearing Oxirane Ring

This research reviews special types of steroids that contain oxirane rings, which are highly reactive chemical structures found in marine organisms, fungi, and plants. These compounds have shown promise in treating various diseases including cancer, inflammation, and high cholesterol. Scientists used computer software to predict and analyze the biological activities of over 150 different epoxy steroids, categorizing them by the position of their oxirane ring. The findings suggest these natural compounds could be valuable for developing new medicines and understanding how chemicals interact with our bodies.
