Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of Dual Release from Anacardic Acid-Based Polyurea Nanocapsules

Extraction of Anacardic Acid and its Applications. A review

“…For instance, it has been described that extraction of CNSL can be performed by adding 130 mL of hexane to 50 g of the rind of cashew seeds (previously crushed), inside a cellulose thimble, then the system is heated until boiling during three cycles for 1 h. Then, the solvent is evaporated using a rotary evaporator and finally, the CNSL is obtained. Extraction yield by previous conditions is about 30…”

“…As a result of the investigation, it was possible to demonstrate that the enzymatic activity of the lipase depolymerizes the envelope and releases, in a controlled manner, both the anacardic acid and the encapsulated components in the area of interest. In addition, the efficiency of the nanocapsules to release anacardic acid and develop a bactericidal effect is considered a promising strategy, since it allows to profit from the biological and pharmacological properties during the nanocapsule cleavage as a controlled liberation system and, hence, protects the anacardic acid from degradation by transferring it to a polymer (Oliveira et al, 2022).…”
