Abstract

Anti-tumor, anti-viral and anti-leukemic activity of cordycepin are well known. Adenosine was reported to induce an apoptosis in human leukemia cells. CM has been widely used as traditional medicinal herbs in China. Previously, we reported the results relating the isolation and characterization of cordycepin and adenosine from the cultured fruiting bodies of CM. We further studied the manufacturing process of CCCA for the prupose of developing anti-leukemic agents. (omitted)
