RESUMO
Hemp seed oil is well known for its nutraceutical, cosmetic and pharmaceutical properties due to a perfectly balanced content of omega 3 and omega 6 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Its importance for human health is reflected by the success on the market of organic goods in recent years. However, it is of utmost importance to consider that its healthy properties are strictly related to its chemical composition, which varies depending not only on the manufacturing method, but also on the hemp variety employed. In the present work, we analyzed the chemical profile of ten commercially available organic hemp seed oils. Their cannabinoid profile was evaluated by a liquid chromatography method coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry. Besides tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol, other 30 cannabinoids were identified for the first time in hemp seed oil. The results obtained were processed according to an untargeted metabolomics approach. The multivariate statistical analysis showed highly significant differences in the chemical composition and, in particular, in the cannabinoid content of the hemp oils under investigation.
RESUMO
The thiophene-, benzothiazole- and pyridine-thioaryloxyacids analogues of clofibric acid were synthesized and their antiplatelet activity was screened. Some compounds exhibited antiaggregating properties. The platelet-related haemostasis was measured on a PFA-100 analyzer using bull blood.

The chiral analogues of gemfibrozil 5-(2,5-dimethylphenoxy)-2-methylpentanoic acid and 5-(2,5-dimethylphenoxy)-2-ethylpentanoic acid were synthesized in optically active form using (S)-4-(1-methylethyl)-2-oxazolidinone as chiral auxiliary. All compounds inhibit human platelet aggregation. From these data, one can surmise that all tested compounds and gemfibrozil act at the platelet level with different mechanism than that of ASA, even if with a different potency.
