The nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) have been proposed as a carrier’s category for pharmaceutical and cosmetic ingredients and an increasing of interest due to a series of advantages when compared to conventional formulations. The Amazonian vegetable fats are considered lipids arrays of great potential for the production of NLC from topical administration, according to the low toxicity and biocompatibility, beyond their emollient properties, protector and moisturizer in the skin. The murumuru (Astrocaryum murumuru Mart.) is an amazon palm and the utility of its fat is promising, because it adds value to the products, favour the growth in the region, in addition to using these resources in a sustainable way. The objective of this research was to obtain and characterize the NLC from the vegetable fat of Murumuru (Astrocaryum murumuru Mart.) by the homogenization technique under high pressure to hot, using ketoconazole as a drug modelling. The gas chromatography showed lauric acid (48,1 %), myristic acid (26,6 %) and oleic acid (8,4 %), as main constituents. The physical-chemical characterization showed acid, iodine, saponification, peroxide, refraction and density values within the limits and standards recommended. The isolated raw materials and the NLC obtained were evaluated using differential scanning calorimetry, where the results about the isolated raw materials used support as was described in Literature and the NLC demonstrated a crystalline structure less ordained. In the tested formulations, the nanoparticles showed average size between 98,60 and 161,56 nm, polydispersibility index between 0,115 and 0,276, zeta potential higher than -30mV and encapsulation efficiency near 100 %. The Transmission Electron Microscopy indicated spherical aspect of the nanoparticles and the! clearance profile showed a zero order kinetic model, with the release of 70,9 % of the encapsulated drug in 8 hours. The nanoparticles remained stable during a period of 60 days. This research showed that the murumuru fat obtained an effective system, with small sizes particles and penetrability in the skin, making possible the formulation propagation in pharmaceutical and cosmetic uses.
