 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 21 Cordyceps Fungi Polysaccharide biological activity and effects of the mechanism [Abstract] Life Sciences in the 21st century is the era of glycobiology. Polysaccharide with low toxicity and biological activity of a variety of characteristics, and in life in the process of an indispensable role. Cordyceps Fungi is a class of active ingredient with a complex and wide-ranging pharmacological effects of natural medicine resources and popular attention. In this paper, Cordyceps fungi based on the promotion of the development and utilization of polysaccharide, with emphasis on fungi Cordyceps Polysaccharide biological activity, effects of the mechanism, etc. Review the latest developments. [Keywords:] effect of the mechanism of Cordyceps Polysaccharide biological activity Abstract: Cordyceps species such as Cordyceps sinensis, C. ophioglossoides, C. sobolifera and C. militaris are well-known traditional Chinese medicinal materia and are used as an alternative medicine remedy to promote health and longevity for people in China and other Asian regions. Polysaccharides are one of major ingredients of Cordyceps fungi, which possess diversified pharmacological actions including immunomodulatory, hypoglycaemic, hypocholesterolemic, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant etc. Therefore, there is an increasing public interest in the Cordyceps polysaccharides that may be regarded as a vital natural source for discovering new drug around the world. The present progress focusing on the bioactivities and its mechanisms of Cordyceps-derived polysaccharides in recent years has been reviewed in this paper. Keywords:: Cordyceps; Polysaccharide; Bioactivity; Acting mechanism Cordyceps fungi have a rich and unique chemical composition and a wide range of pharmacological effects, is an important class of natural medicine resources. For example, Cordyceps Cordyceps sinensis (Berk.) Sacc., Cicada flower C. sobolifera (Hill.) Berk., Great mission Cordyce
