Abstract: This invention is related to the obtainment of a new active ingredient and its obtaining process from green or ripe fruits of both Acrocomia crispa and Acrocomia aculeata species of the Arecaceae family. Such active ingredient can be used as nutritional supplement, cosmetic-therapeutic formulations, or as pharmaceutical compositions for preventing and/or treating inflammatory processes and oxidative stress, and includes a mixture of fatty acids from 6 to 28 carbon atoms (free and/or as acylglycerols or ethyl esters), mainly those saturated of linear chain with 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 carbon atoms, and those unsaturated of 16 and 18 carbon atoms, and that may also contain sterols and fatty alcohols.

Abstract: A method for treating and/or preventing BPH prostatitis, alopecia and hirsutism including administering a medication of the pharmaceutical composition obtained from the green or mature fruits of Roystonea regia including a mixture of primary fatty acids with 8 to 28 carbon atoms, the fatty acid selected from the group consisting of caprilic acid (C8:0), capric acid (C10:0), lauric acid (C12:0), miristic acid (C14:0), palmitic acid (C16:0), palmitoleic acid (C16:1), stearic acid (C18:0), oleic acid (C18:1), linoleic acid, and linolenic acid and a mixture of esters of the fatty acids, and free fatty acids are enriched from ester hydrolysis.

Abstract: A method for obtaining a pharmaceutical composition from Roystonea regia whole fruit including drying, grinding, and sieving the Roystonea regia whole fruit, and separating an extract through a solid/liquid extraction in organic solvents with the organic solvents are selected from hydrocarbons of 5 to 8 carbon atoms, alcohols of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and mixture thereof, with or without a previous basic hydrolysis using hydroxides or alkalis.

Abstract: A new natural mixture of primary fatty acids of high molecular weight ranging from 24 to 38 carbon atoms, especially those ranging between 26 and 36 carbon atoms and more especially those of straight chain of 26, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 and 36 carbon atoms. This mixture has a relative composition of each fatty acid that is highly reproducible batch to batch and it is extracted from sugar cane (Saccharum officinarum, L.) wax. This mixture of fatty acids has specific pharmacological properties that supports its use as an active component of pharmaceutical formulations used as hypocholesterolemic and against hypercholesterolaemia type II, as antiplatelet, anti-thrombotic and anti-ischemic. This mixture of primary fatty acids is also effective in the inhibition of the development of gastric ulcers induced by different agents.
