Ergosterol peroxide, a derivative of ergosterol, is widely found in a variety of medicinal fungi and plants and has various biological activities because of its 5α, 8α-peroxide bridge structure, such as anti-tumor, anti-virus, immune regulation, bacteriostasis and anti-inflammation. It is worth noting that the anti-tumor activity of ergosterol peroxide is significantly higher than ergosterol. At present, the preparation processes of ergosterol peroxide mainly include biological extraction and chemical synthesis. Biological extraction fails to acquire a large amount of ergosterol peroxide because of its low content in natural resources. However, chemical synthesis is convenient, and may realizes the industrialization of ergosterol peroxide. Here, the progress in study on biological activities and preparation of ergosterol peroxide was reviewed to provide direction for its application.
