Safety profile, antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities of a nanostructured lipid carrier containing oil and butter from Astrocaryum vulgare: in vitro studies

Abstract: Ethnopharmacological relevance: Tucumã (Astrocaryum vulgare)is a fruit native to the Amazon region. Extracts from the peel and pulp are thought of as promising treatments for bacterial infections. The primary constituents of Tucumã oil and butter possess unsaturated carbon chains that are susceptible to oxidation by light or heat. The oils have high volatility and low aqueous solubility that limits their use without a vehicle. Nanotechnology refers to techniques to solve these problems. Nanostructured lipid ca… Show more

“…Naturally-derived antimicrobial agents include vegetal and essential oils, antimicrobial peptides and fatty acids (Aslanli, Lyagin, Stepanov, Presnov, & Efremenko, 2020;Casillas-Vargas et al, 2021;Lalouckova et al, 2021;Pereira dos Santos et al, 2019;Sekar, Paul, Srinivasan, & Rajasekaran, 2021). In this respect, tucumã (Astrocaryum vulgare), an Amazon fruit from which an oil or a butter can be extracted, and its derivatives have been investigated for biomedical applications (Baldissera et al, 2017;Bressa et al, 2021;Cordenonsi et al, 2020;Fernandes, 2015;Rossato et al, 2020Rossato et al, , 2021. The high fatty acids content of tucumã is the main feature that can provide either antimicrobial or antibiofilm activity to its derivatives (Casillas-Vargas et al, 2021).…”

“…Tucumã oil and tucumã butter have already been evaluated in the literature and presented good biocompatibility, an ability to modulate the inflammatory process and a 60-day storage stability, as well as antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity against pathogenic bacteria (Rossato et al, 2021). In addition, the combination of tucumã oil and butter together resulted in an improved healing activity of HFF-1 cells (human fibroblasts) using scratch in vitro tests (Rossato et al, 2020).…”
