斯普鲁利纳最大藻是一种被认为是“超级食品”的蓝藻菌，其代谢产物和营养含量使其如此。这些成分包括一系列复杂的矿物质、维生素、脂肪酸、蛋白质和辅助色素。近年来，斯普鲁利纳最大藻被认为是治疗多种疾病的有前景的生物活性分子来源，包括代谢综合征、冠心病、癌症以及改善通过调节氧化应激的健康状况。C-藻蓝蛋白（C-PC）是一种来源于绿蓝藻的光合色素，是斯普鲁利纳属中最丰富的藻红蛋白，具有多种药理特性，其抗氧化能力得到了广泛的赋予，但它没有具体的细胞靶标。这使得C-PC成为生物医学研究中非常有趣的分子。本综述将重点介绍C-PC的药理效应以及其对代谢综合征和氧化应激的益处。

Spirulina maxima is a cyanobacterium considered a "superfood" due to its metabolites and nutrient content. These include a complex mixture of minerals, vitamins, fatty acids, proteins, and accessory pigments. In recent years, it has positioned itself as a promising source of bioactive molecules for the treatment of several diseases, including metabolic syndrome, coronary diseases, cancer, and the improvement of health modulating oxidative stress. C-Phycocyanin (C-PC) is a photosynthetic pigment from green-blue cyanobacterium and the most abundant phycobiliprotein in the Spirulina genus with various pharmacological properties attributed due to its antioxidant capacity but has no specific cellular target. This has made it a molecule of great interest in biomedical research. This review focuses on the pharmacological effects and the benefits on metabolic syndrome and oxidative stress of C-PC.
