From the methanol extract of the Arocomia mexicana root a new tetrahydropyrane compound was isolated. Its skeletal structure and relative stereochemistry were established by spectral analysis. Substituent effects have been determined with the hope of providing information about steric interactions
This study evaluated the hypoglycemic effect of the oil extracted from the Acrocomia aculeata pulp (OPAC) in normoglycemic rats and streptozotocin (STZ), fructose-induced diabetic rat models and its in vitro antioxidant and cytotoxic potential. OPAC (3, 30 or 300 mg/kg, v.o.) significantly decreased
6,6'-Linked ethers derived from D-allose, D-galactose, D-glucose, and D-mannose have been prepared in order to allow comparisons with the reported 6,6'-linked hexopyranose coyolosa, an hypoglycemic compound which has been isolated by extraction of the root of the palm Acrocomia mexicana. Comparison
Acrocomia aculeata is a plant rich in antioxidant compounds. Studies suggest that this plant has anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and diuretic potential. We assessed the antigenotoxic, antimutagenic, immunomodulation, and apoptotic potentials of A. aculeata alone and in combination with an antitumor
The macauba palm (Acrocomia aculeata) is native of tropical America and is found mostly in the Cerrados and Pantanal biomes. The fruits provide an oily pulp, rich in long chain fatty acids, and a kernel that encompass more than 50% of lipids rich in medium chain fatty acids (MCFA). Based on
