SUMMARY:

The skin is the largest organ of the human body and serves as the first line of defense

against external agents. When its integrity is compromised, susceptibility to microbial

infections increases. This, combined with the rapid development of microorganisms

resistant to conventional antimicrobials, can lead to a severe disruption of the body's

homeostasis. Andiroba (Carapa guianensis) is a tree native to the Amazon region and

was already used for various therapeutic purposes by the indigenous peoples before

the discovery of the American continent. Some studies have conducted in vitro

research and observed its antimicrobial effects. To enhance this effect, the use of

nanotechnology was considered, combining the fixed oil of this plant with the oleoresin

of Copaiba (Copaifera officinalis). Thus, the objective of this study was the

development and characterization of a nanoemulsion formulation encapsulated with

filtered fixed andiroba oil and copaiba oleoresin, using the low-shear phase inversion

technique. The prepared formulations were characterized by particle size analysis,

Polydispersity Index, Zeta Potential, Hydrogen Potential (pH), Antioxidant Activity,

Antibacterial and Antifungal Activity. So far, it has been possible to develop stable

products with potential therapeutic activity for the treatment of infections.
