Abstract

In previous studies, the oil extracted from the visceral fat of Caiman yacare (Daudin, 1802) demonstrated a wound-healing effect on the skin of Wistar rats. To enhance knowledge our about the mechanism underlying this effect, we analysed the oil’s toxicological potential in vitro. Cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, pro-oxidant, and antioxidant activities were evaluated in a V79-4 cell line. The oil was obtained using the Soxhlet method, and the proportions of the fatty acid profile was previously identified 43.74 % saturated and 34.65 % unsaturated fatty acids. Protocol 487 of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) was employed for cell line selection and concentrations. Cytotoxicity was determined using the MTT assay and clonogenic survival. Pro-oxidant and antioxidant activities were analysed using flow cytometry. Genotoxicity was evaluated using comet and micronucleus assays. The oil did not demonstrate cytotoxicity up to a concentration of 500 µg/mL. At concentrations of 250 and 500 µg/mL, the oil exerted a protective effect against oxidative stress and showed genotoxic effects only at the highest concentration (2000 µg/mL). Like other oils of interest for human health, the oil extracted from the visceral fat of C. yacare demonstrated low toxicological potential in vitro.
