Popis: Graphical abstract The acute respiratory distress syndrome caused by viral pathogens is a worldwide public health emergency. It is suggested that patients with this condition should be screened using therapies that address the need to prevent mortality. Anacardic acids found in Anacardium species have biological activities related to the antioxidant capacity of their double bonds in the lateral alkyl chain. The present study seeks to investigate the effects of anacardic acid monoene on acute respiratory distress syndrome caused by lipopolysaccharides. Experiments were carried out on mice divided into three groups: control group, acute respiratory distress-induced group, and anacardic acid monoene pretreated group, subsequently, induced to acute respiratory distress by lipopolysaccharides. Results showed that anacardic acid moeno was able to prevent changes in lung function and preserve its mechanical properties from containing inflammatory cell infiltrate, collapse of alveoli, and decreased airway resistance, suggesting that this compound may be effective in preventing the acute respiratory distress syndrome caused by viral pathogens.
