   Cordycepin, also known as 3’- deoxyadenosine , is extracted from the fungus Cordyceps militaris with a ≥*8% purity. Cordycepin is the main functional compound in Cordyceps, one of the top three famous traditional Chinese medicines. It was reported to have multiple functions, such as enhancing body’s immune function, anti-aging, anti-fatigue, anti-cancer, anti-bacterial and anti-virus, androgen function, hypolipidemic and hypoglycemic effects. It has been used in various health products worldwide. Cordycepin, similar to adenosine, can be incorporated into RNA and cause premature termination of its synthesis. Cordycepin and cordycepin triphosphate have been used extensively in the study of gene/mRNA transcription.
