Resumo

This study reports the synthesis of fatty acid amides (FAA), analogous to anandamide, prepared from Brazil nut oil (BNO), using Amano lipase from Pseudomonas fluorescens as a catalyst of direct aminolysis, with a good yield (95-68%).The anti-inflammatory effects of BNO and FAA were evaluated by the carrageenan-induced paw edema method.Analysis of the formation of edema showed that these FAA, at all dose used, significantly reduced the development of edema.
