Abstract
Phellinus pini (P. pini) has been widely utilized as a traditional medicinal macrofungus in China and various East Asian countries. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that P. pini has important application value in anti-tumor therapy. However, its main anti-breast cancer active substances and mechanism are still unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that the methanol extract of Phellinus pini (PPE) could significantly inhibit the viability of 4 T1 cells, induce apoptosis, decrease mitochondrial membrane potential and S phase arrest of 4 T1 cells. PPE can restore the imbalance of intestinal flora caused by breast cancer and regulate the content of endogenous metabolites such as amino acids. Q Exactive UPLC-MS/MS analysis showed that polyphenols are the main chemical components that exert the efficacy. These results provide experimental support for the potential future treatment of breast cancer with P. pini.

2. Development of standardization method for bioactive plant extracts and natural products
3. Identification of bioactivity in plant extracts
4. Identification of targets and mechanism of activity of plant extracts
5. Production and genomic characterization of medicinal plants biomass
6. Chemistry and biochemistry of bioactive natural products of plant origin
7. Critical reviews of the historical, clinical and legal status of medicinal plants, and accounts on topical issues.
