Abstract: In order to explore the difference in medicinal value of cultured mycelia and fruit bodies of Inonotus obliquus, organic solvent cold soaking and ultrasonic reflux were adopted to extract triterpenoids from fruit bodies and mycelia of Inonotus obliquus. The triterpenoids extracted from both sources were determined to be the same or similar homologues by thin layer chromatography (TLC) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectral analysis. Both triterpenoid extracts could inhibit the growth of cancer cells and bacteria as determined by tetrazolium salt assay (MTT) and cylinder plate method. The highest inhibitory rate of triterpenoids to human gastric cancer cell line MGC-803 reached up to 38.27%. Therefore cultured mycelia of Inonotus obliquus have the same medicinal value as fruit bodies.

Key words: Inonotus obliquus, triterpenes, anti-tumor activity, anti-bacterial activity
