Selective inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 by C-phycocyanin, a biliprotein from Spirulina platensis

, 2000
We report data from two related assay systems (isolated enzyme assays and whole blood assays) that C-phycocyanin a biliprotein from Spirulina platensis is a selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-a (COX-2) with a very low IC50 COX-2/IC50 COX-1 ratio (0.04)

The protective effect of C-phycocyanin on paraquat-induced acute lung injury in rats

, 2011
To investigate the potential protective effect of C-phycocyanin (PC) on paraquat (PQ)-induced acute lung injury, rats were divided into control, PQ-treated and PQ + PC-treated groups. Rats in PQ-treated group were orally administered with 50 mg/kg PQ and

Protective effects of C-phycocyanin on alcohol-induced subacute liver injury in mice

, 2016
Excessive and long-term alcohol consumption leads to liver disease and low immunity. Extensive evidence suggests that C-phycocyanin (C-PC), a chromophore phycocyanobilin derived from Arthrospira (Spirulina) platensis, exerts protective effects against ...
