ABSTRACT
This study was aimed to investigate whether the a lipid extract from Acrocomia crispa fruits (D-005) inhibits COX and 5-LOX enzyme activities in vitro. This study demonstrates that D-005 inhibits markedly and in a dose dependent manner COX-2 and 5-LOX activities. The dual inhibition of COX-2 and 5-LOX supports further research on the potential anti-inflammatory effect of D-005.
RESUMEN
El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar si el extracto lipídico de los frutos de Acrocomia crispa (D-005) inhibe in vitro las actividades de las enzimas COX y 5-LOX. Este estudio demuestra que el D-005 inhibe marcadamente y de manera dosis dependiente las actividades de la COX-2 y 5-LOX. La inhibición dual de la COX-2 y 5-LOX soportan futuras investigaciones sobre el potencial efecto anti-inflamatorio del D-005.
