Abstract

 The current study aimed to test the effectiveness of Fatty acid separation

from the seeds of the flax plant Linum usitatissimum on the parasite

Leishmaniatropica. Palmatic acid, Steric acid, Olic acid, and Arachidic acid

Behenic acid). These fatty acids were used as a possible anti-inflammatory

agents in vitro, as the results showed that the concentration of 100 μg/ml

gave a complete inhibition of the parasite’s growth in the promastigote form

in 48 hours and up by 100% compared to the control group, which

growth of the parasite was witnessed at all times, while the concentration of

25 μg/ml showed a decrease in the percentage of inhibition compared to the

rest of the concentrations, which was 78.8% at the time of 96 hours, and the

inhibitory concentration for 90% of the parasites (LC90) was at the

concentration of 50 μg/ml. milliliters at log phase 96 hours of culture. This

led to a reduction in the number of generations and an increase in the time

required to produce them compared to the control group.
