Cashew (Anacardium occidentale). Toschi et al. (91) have given details of the fatty acids, triacylglycerols, sterols, and tocopherols in cashew nut oil. The major fatty acids are palmitic (9-14%), stearic (6-12%), oleic (57-65%), and linoleic (16-18%), and the major triacylglycerols are OOO, POO, OOSt, OOL, and POL. 

The cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) is an evergreen species native to tropical America and contains 47% oil (w/w) (1, 68). Other components of cashew nuts include carbohydrate (27.1%), protein (18.2%), water (5.2%), and ash (2.5%) The predominant fatty acid in cashew nut oil is oleic acid (57.3-65.1%), followed by linoleic (15.6-18.6%), and palmitic (9.0-14.2%) acids (Table 10) (68). Cashew nut oil contains 1.4% unsaponifiable matter (w/w), of which 76.2-82.7% is p-sitosterol. Other sterols present in cashew nut oil include A -avenasterol, campesterol, fucosterol, cholesterol, and stigmasterol (68). Cashew nut oil contains 45.3-83.5 mg/lOOg y-tocopherol other tocopherols present are a-tocopherol (2.8-8.2 mg/lOOg) and 5-tocopherol (2.0-5.9 mg/100 g) (68).

Scientific research confirms the medical attributes of many of these plants used by the traditional healers. For instance, the medical attributes of Guiera senegalensis 3-4) justifies its widespread use in the treatment of coughs and bronchitis. Likewise, Combretum micranthum is used to treat liver disease 1, 5-6) and Anacardium occidentale to treat arterial hypertension (7). However, further studies are required to confirm the use of many other of the medicinal plants they use as well as establishing or validating their healing or curative properties. From our survey, we can report that it is the leaves that are the most commonly used plant tissue for medicinal purposes. As expected, however, other plant parts such as the roots and barks are also commonly used.

Anacardium occidentale L. (leaves). Cashew plant. Agathisflavone (100). Cytotoxic activity. An ethanolic extract elicited lymphopenia in rats, and induced apoptosis in Jurkat cells. Agathisflavone (100) showed a high anti-proliferative effect in Jurkat cells (IC50 = 4.45 pM). Agathisflavone induced apopto.sis in Jurkat cells. Konan et al., 2010 [45].

Dihydric phenolic lipids of the cardol type are the most abundant in plant, fungal and bacterial kingdoms. The first species in which the members of the title subclass of phenolic lipids, resorcinolic lipids, were found was Ginkgo biloba (Ginkgoaceae) [6,9,10,17]. Later, the presence of resorcinolic lipids (5-n-alk(en)ylresorcinols) was shown also in other species, first, in the Anacardiaceae [14], which is an important source of various phenolic lipids, not only of alkylresorcinols but also of alkylphenols and alkylcatechols. For example, the cashew and the processing of cashew nuts are the main source of phenolic lipids for the formaldehyde-polymer industry. Aspects of Anacardium occidentale in relation to synthesis, semi-synthesis and chemical industry have been reviewed Tyman [1,11,14] as well as a recent book [2]. 

The amount of resorcinolic lipids in plant and microbial sources varies considerably depending on the source. The most prominent source of resorcinolic lipids (cardol and methylcardol), as well as of other phenolic lipids, is the oil obtained from extraction of the shell of cashew nuts, Anacardium occidentale, (up to 20% of resorcinolic lipids). The oily extract from the roasting of cashew nuts (Cashew Nut Shell Liquid) is one of the most important sources of these compounds for formaldehyde polymerisation in industry [1,2,11,114], Other plant sources contain amounts of resorcinolic lipids that vary from 0.01% to 0.1% with rye grains as the richest [101,115-120] while bacterial sources, depending on the family and strain contain up to 6% of various resorcinolic lipid derivatives [105].
