RESUMO
Background: Many seed oils have been used as anti-inflammatory agents, administred by ingestion or topical application in traditional medicine. The objective of this research was to perform a chemical analysis of fatty profile and a pharmacological study through a topical experiment of TPA-induced ear edema test and an internal assay - acetic acid-induced vascular permeability in Swiss mice of some fixed oils popularly used for inflammatory problems, trying to confirm their action. Materials, Methods & Results: Fixed lipids of Ouratea fieldingiana (batiputá), Caryocar coreaceum (pequi), Annacardium occidentale (cashew-nuts), Cocos nucifera (coco-da-bahia), Byrsonima crassifolia (murici) e Elaeis guineenses (palm) were selected for the identification of fatty acids profile by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis and evaluation of anti-inflammatory activity by TPA-induced ear edema test and acetic acid-induced vascular permeability in Swiss male mice. The oils were purchased in local markets or extracted in Soxhlet apparatus with hexane. The oils of cashew nut, murici fruit, and pequi nut presented a high percentage of unsaturated fatty acids (81.80, 74.46 and 60.72 %, respectively). In the oils of batiputá and murici, linoleic acid was the main unsaturated fatty acid (45.06% and 74.66%, respectively) and oleic acid was main constituent in cashew [...]

Current study analyzes the chemical composition of lipids in fish commonly found in the dams of the state of Ceará, Brazil, namely Pterygoplichthys pardalis (bodó), Hoplias malabaricus (traira), Cichla ocellaris (tucunaré), Prochilodus brevis (curimatã) and Oreochomis niloticus (tilapia). The animals were collected during the summer and Folch extraction procedure was used for the extraction of lipids, whilst Iupac methodology (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry [Iupac], 1987) was used to methylate the fatty acids. Methyl esters were analyzed by GC/MS and the different components in fish oil were identified. Palmitic acid, C16:0 (35.71-45.02%), was the saturated fatty acid with the highest percentage, while oleic acid, C18:19 (10.62-25.29%) had the highest percentage among the unsaturated fatty acids. The chemical composition of analyzed freshwater fish lipids revealed low levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids.
O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a composição química de lipídeos de peixes comumente encontrados em açudes do estado do Ceará: Ancistrus sp (bodó), Hoplias malabaricus (traíra), Cichla ocellaris (tucunaré), Prochilodus brevis (curimatã) e Oreochomis niloticus (tilápia). A coleta dos animais foi realizada durante o verão. Os lipídeos foram obtidos segundo o método de extração de Folch e os ácidos graxos foram metilados seguindo a metodologia da Iupac (União Internacional de Química Pura e Aplicada [Iupac], 1987). A análise química dos ésteres metílicos foi feita por CG/EM. Dentre os ácidos graxos saturados, o palmítico C16:0 (35.71-45.02%) apresentou o maior percentual e entre os ácidos graxos insaturados o oleico C18:19 (10.62-25.29%) foi o mais abundante. A composição química de lipídeos dos peixes de água doce analisados revelou baixos teores de ácidos graxos poliinsaturados.
