The invention relates to a Cordyceps sobolifera active site and application thereof in preparing drugs for nerve protection and aging resistance. The active site is an n-butanol site of a Cordyceps sobolifera water extract. The active site is prepared by the following steps: pulverizing Cordyceps sobolifera, extracting with water under reflux, concentrating the extracting solution under reduced pressure, adding anhydrous ethanol, and precipitating over night; centrifuging, and concentrating; and carrying out fractional extraction on the concentrated solution with petroleum ether, ethyl acetate and n-butanol, concentrating under reduced pressure to recover the solvent, and carrying out freeze-drying to respectively obtain a petroleum ether site, an ethyl acetate site, an n-butanol site and a water site. The n-butanol site can obviously inhibit aging and damage of the glutamic-acid-induced PC12 cells, prevent the cell LDH from release, enhance the survival rate of the cells, lower the intracellular oxygen free radical level, enhance the activity of the glutathione reductase (GSH-Px) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), and have favorable in-vitro oxidation resistance activity in the experiment of clearing DPPH. and superoxide anion (O<2.->) free radicals.
