Abstract

Phycocyanin from Spirulina platensis extract has anticancer activity against various types of cancer cell cultures. However study about its effect on colon cancer cell lines, especially the WiDr, has not been reported before. This study aimed to reveal the anticancer activity of phycocyanin from Spirulina platensis extract on WiDr cells. The research was an in vitro experimental study, with the investigation on cytotoxicity also antiproliferation as the anticancer parameters. Both cytotoxicity and antiproliferation test was conducted through MTT assay to observe the visualization and inhibition of proliferation of different concentrations of phycocyanin in several incubation times on the WiDr colon cancer cell line. The obtained data were then processed statistically with the Two Way ANOVA test at a significance value of p 0.05 and followed with the Post Hoc test since there were significant differences. Based on the results, it could be postulated that phycocyanin extracted from freshwater Spirulina platensis was classified as non-toxic (IC50 of 855 µg/ml). Consequently, it is less potential to be used as the treatment for colon cancer. However, phycocyanin could inhibit the proliferation of the WiDr cell for approximately 47.4%, specifically at the concentration of 1710 µg/ml for 72 hours. It could be concluded that freshwater phycocyanin is less effective as an anticancer substance. The benefit of this study is to provide the new scientific evidence of the contrary results of freshwater phycocyanin activity from Spirulina platensis as an anticancer agent of colon cancer.

Abstract

Spirulina platensis is a spiral green-blue algae that is abundant in the subtropical and tropical water bodies. S. platensis has several potentials to be used in the medical fields due to its wound healing and antitumor potentials. This research aimed to evaluate the secondary metabolite compounds contained in the ethanolic extract of S. platensis from Karimun Jawa Sea, Indonesia. The dried S. platensis was macerated and extracted using ethanol, then was filtered using Whatman filter paper. A series of tests has been done to determine the secondary metabolites in the ozonated oil using several chemistry tests and reagents in the ethanol extract of S. platensis. The tests found that S. platensis microalgae harvested from Karimun Jawa sea contains alkaloid, saponin, flavonoid, and quinone. As S. platensis from different region contains different substances, this research shows the substances contained in S. platensis from Karimun Jawa sea. With this research, we knew that S. platensis from Karimun Jawa islands contains alkaloid, saponin, flavonoid, and quinone which can be used as a medicinal ingredient.
