Cosmetic and Skincare Benefits of Cultivated Mycelia from the Chinese Caterpillar Mushroom, Ophiocordyceps sinensis (Ascomycetes).[Pubmed: 30055554]
Mushrooms are potential sources of novel natural cosmeceutical ingredients. This study was conducted to evaluate the cosmetic (skincare) benefits of the valuable medicinal species Ophiocordyceps sinensis (=Cordyceps sinensis). The mycelial extracts of 2 O. sinensis strains, Cs-HK1 and Cs-4, prepared sequentially with ethyl acetate, ethanol, and hot water were tested with in vitro assays for tyrosinase-, collagenase-, and elastase-inhibitory activity. The ethyl acetate extracts of both fungal strains showed potent antityrosinase and antielastase activity, with low half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (0.14-0.47 mg/mL) comparable to those of the respective reference compounds (arbutin and epigallocatechin gallate). All mycelial extracts exhibited moderate or significant anticollagenase activity; most extracts showed a significant photoprotective effect with a sun protection factor up to 25. The results from this study show the potential use of O. sinensis as a source of cosmetic ingredients for skincare applications.
Protection of Bifidobacterial cells against antibiotics by a high molecular weight exopolysaccharide of a medicinal fungus Cs-HK1 through physical interactions.[Pubmed: 30036626]
This study was to assess the protective effect of exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by a medicinal fungus Cordyceps sinensis Cs-HK1 on Bifidobacteria against antibiotic inhibition. The high-molecular weight EPS fractions showed significant protective effect on all five bifidobacterial strains against four common antibiotics, leading to a dramatic increase in the minimal inhibitory and minimal bactericidal concentrations. The protective effect of EPS on the bacteria was probably attributed to the formation of a viscous layer around the bacterial cell resisting the access by the antibiotics. The EPS layer surrounding the bacteria cell also promoted the aggregation of bacteria and formation of biofilm as observed by microscopy. EPS also enhanced the bifidobacterial adhesion to Caco-2 cell monolayer. In general, the protective effect as well as biofilm formation due to EPS was significantly correlated with the molecular weight of EPS fractions.
