Spirulina platensis is a microalga that is easy to cultivate. Spirulina platensis contains high antioxidants sourced from chemical compounds. Antioxidants can protect against oxidative stress and degenerative diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the chemical profiles of S. platensis using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and predict its biological activity using computational analysis (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion) using SwissADME. The GC-MS analysis of S. platensis extracts yielded twenty-four compounds. Spirulina platensis extracts contain twelve compounds with percentage more than 1%, namely Dodecanoic acid, ethyl ester (27.71%); Ethyl linoleate (19.47%); Octadecenamide (10.99%); Octadecane (9.02%); Methyl gamma-linolenoate (8.04%); 2-Hexadecen-1-ol, 3,7,11,15-tetramethyl-, [R-[R*,R*-(E)]]- (6.92%); Neophytadiene (3.21%); Hexadecanoic acid, 2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethyl ester (2.68%); Ethyl 9-hexadecenoate (2.05%); 9-Octadecenoic acid (Z)- (1.47%); 3,7,11,15-Tetramethyl-2-hexadecen-1-ol (1,44%); 9-Octadecenamide (1.15%); and 2-Hexadecene, 3,7,11,15-Tetramethyl-2-hexadecene- 1-ol (1%). The dominant compound was dodecanoic acid, ethyl ester. The potential biological activity of dodecanoic acid, ethyl ester, is antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-candida, mycelial growth inhibition. All compounds in the extract of S platensis met the druglikeness according to Lipisnki’s rules using SwissADME. SwissADME emerged to be simple, robust and accurate method to understand the ADME properties of the compounds present in Spirulina platensis phytoconstituents. The ADME analysis results indicated that S. platensis extracts could be developed as traditional medicine and nutraceutical products.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
