Abstract

Inonotus obliquus (chaga) polysaccharide (IOPS) is one of the major bioactive components of chaga, possessing antitumor, antioxidant, anti-virus, hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic activities. This review summarises advances in the extraction, purification, structural characteristics and biological activities of IOPS and its possible mechanisms, suggesting IOPS as a potential candidate for the treatment of cancers and type 2 diabetes.
