Abstract
Nature’s never-ending gift, which counts as one of the most valuable medicines in the
entire world, the Ophiocordyceps sinensis, also known as caterpillar fungus, is a traditional Chinese
medicine found in Tibetan plateaus. During the season of spring, many shepherd search for this caterpillar fungus as its value in the market is very high. Moreover, due to the effects of climatic
change on its population and increasing demand, O. sinensis is now an endangered species. It can
treat almost many diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, respiratory diseases, immune dysfunction etc. The chemical composition of this fungus includes amino acids, glutamic acid, polyamines,
cordycepic acid, saccharides, sterols, nucleotides, sugar derivatives, fatty acids, vitamins, and oleic
acid.
