Recombinant trichobakin (TBK) has been subjected to study its capacity in inhibiting the growth of three lines of human cancer cell - epidermoid carcinoma of the mouth (KB), rabdomyo sarcoma (RD-26) and myelo sarcoma (2/0-Ag-14), it has been shown that TBK has inhibited the cancer cells. Myeloma sarcoma cells were inhibited by TBK at the lowest dose (ID50  2.55 microgram/ml). For RD-26 and KB cell lines, ID50 = 7.27microgram and 10.5 microgram/ml respectively.

Lingzhi dry powder was prepared with distilled water to make liquid extract with concentrations of 15% (15g dry extract/100ml water), 30% and 75%. These liquid extracts were used to test hepatoprotective effects. With low dose CCl4 (0,25%) induced hepatic toxication, 15%, 30% and 75% lingzhi extracts showed hepatoprotective effect.
