Despite its unappealing appearance, locals refer to it as O Linh ginseng, and its scientific name is Xylaria nigripes (Klotzsch) Cooke.

This herb is used in medicine to cure burns, lower blood pressure, halt bleeding, alleviate sleeplessness, and have sedative properties.

Furthermore, it can support the kidneys, protect the brain, and enhance memory.

This is a wonderful therapeutic herb for persons who have had surgery, given birth, or are nursing.

Xylaria nigripes (XN) is a traditional medicinal fungus that is a member of the Xylariaceae family, according to ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.

XN has long been used as a nerve tonic and to treat trauma and sleeplessness. The bioactivities of XN have been shown in both in vitro and in vivo studies.

These activities include anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor prevention of spatial memory impairment, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, hepatoprotective, anti-depressant, improving insulin sensitivity, and neuroprotective properties.

The various chemical components found in XN, including internal and extracellular polysaccharides, adenosine, total polyphenols, and triterpenoids in mycelia, are responsible for these bioactivities.

In PC12 cells, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) can trigger mitochondrial dysfunctions that lead to oxidative stress and apoptosis. The current study employed PC12 cells treated with H202 as the cell model, and the protective effects of XN mycelia extracts—made from mycelia through submerged fermentation—on oxidatively damaged brain cells were assessed.
