ABSTRACT
Anacardic acids are natural compounds found in various plant families, such as Anacardiaceae, Geraniaceae, Ginkgoaceae, and Myristicaceae, among others. Several activities have been reported regarding these compounds, including antibacterial, antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral activities, showing the potential therapeutic applicability of these compounds. From a chemical point of view, they are structurally made up of salicylic acids substituted by an alkyl chain containing unsaturated bonds, which can vary in number and position, determining their bioactivity and differentiating them from the various existing forms. Our work aimed to explore the potential of anacardic acids, based on studies that address the bioactivity of these compounds, as well as to establish a greater understanding of the structure-activity relationship of these compounds through in silico methods, with a focus on the elucidation of a possible drug target through the application of computer-aided drug design, CADD.
