Abstract 

Cordyceps sinensisis, a kind of important trademark grungy meds and edible mushrooms, were used as tonic sustenance in South West domain of Nigeria and valued a wide approval for its helpful limits. Cordyceps militaris, as a substitute for C. sinensis, is a for the most part dispersed creature types, which can be produced in various medium. In this examination, the substance of major bioactive parts, cordycepin and adenosine in fruiting bodies and mycelia from the nature C. sinensis and fake social C. militaris were inquired about using improved HPLC system. The results exhibited the mean substance of cordycepin and adenosine in the fruiting gatherings of C. militaris were 2.654 ± 0.02 and 2.45 ± 0.03 mg/g, those in C. sinensis were 0.9801 ± 0.01 and 1.643 ± 0.03 mg/g, while those in the mycelium of C. militaris were 0.9040 ± 0.02 and 1.592 ± 0.03 mg/g, independently. The centralization of cordycepin and adenosine in the fruiting accumulations of C. militaris were higher than that in like manner C. sinensis, while the matured mycelium of C. militaris were similar with normal C. sinensis.

Key words: Cordyceps sinensis, Cordyceps, high performance liquid chromatography, adenosine, Cordyceps militaris.
