Background: The antimicrobial effect of oils extracted from Syagrus oleracea (Mart.) to prove the action and obtain data for the future development of therapeutic products. Objectives: The present study was to determine the chemical profile and the antimicrobial potential of oils extracted from Syagrus oleracea (Mart.) Becc. almonds and Speciomerus revoilie (Pic.) larvae to obtain scientific information to prove the action and obtain data for the future development of therapeutic products. Materials and Methods: The separation, identification and quantification of fatty acids in oils extracted from the larvae of S. revoili (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) and almonds of S. oleracea (Arecaceae) were performed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. The determination of antibacterial activity was performed using microdilution in plates. Results: In the oils extracted from S. revoili and S. oleracea, saturated chain fatty acids, the presence of hexanoic acid (only in almonds), and caprylic acid, capric acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid and those of unsaturated chain, oleic acid (omega-9) and linoleic acid (omega-6). S. revoili oil showed satisfactory results against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.

Background: The in vitro antimicrobial effect of lipids has been studied and antimicrobial action of these lipids has been observed in various microbial groups. Objectives: The research studied the fatty acid profile and antimicrobial action of seed oil Acrocomia emensis, Attalea burretiana and Carpotroche brasiliensis against strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Materials and Methods: The analyzes were extracted and then hydrolysis and methylation were performed for later by Gas Chromatography coupled to a Mass Spectrometer. The determination of the antimicrobial action was determined by the agar diffusion method. Results: In species Acrocomia emensis and Attalea burretiana lauric acid was the most abundant fatty followed by myristic acid. In the oil of Carpotroche brasiliensis the hidnocarpic, chaumoogric and gorlic acids were in a greater concentration. The antimicrobial activity was observed in inhibition zones between 8-14 mm, so these oils can be made possible used as pharmaceutical adjuvants in antibiotic preparations.

Background: The present communication deals with the identification and characterization of bioactive principles from the roots of Chlorophytum borivilianum. Method: Methanolic extract and its fractions were used to isolate different phytoconstituents. The structures of isolated compounds were characterized and elucidated with chemical and spectroscopic techniques such as Infra Red, Nuclear Mass Resonace and Mass spectroscopy experiments. Fatty acids were characterized by GC-MS analysis. Result: Three Fatty acids were isolated and confirmed. One sterol stigmasterol was isolated. One new saponin named as Chlorophytoside-I (3b, 5a, 22R, 25R)-26-(β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-22-hydroxy-furostan-12-one-3 yl O-β-D-galactopyranosyl (1-4) glucopyranoside was isolated. Conclusion: The roots of Chlorophytum borivilianum contain three important fatty acids, common sterol stigmasterol and one furostanol saponins.
