The Synthetic phosphoethanolamine is a phospholipid which is in the class of glycerophospholipids in which it has specific chemical properties that characterize it with a biological activity. This compound synthesized at the Institute of Chemistry of São Carlos - USP, has been widely reported in the media because it has a great beneficial effect on malignant tumors, being considered as a promising treatment for cancer cure, which presents chemical characteristics that makes it as A promising drug as it does not affect the structure of DNA. Thus emphasizing the issues that were not addressed by the media, data were collected through questionnaires in Natal / RN where it was found that about 67.2% of the students interviewed had already heard about synthetic phosphoethanolamine and, however, were unaware of the Effects on the human being. Also 98.4% stated that further studies are needed to know the harm and benefits of this compound in the body. People outside the UFRN about 45.1% interviewed heard about phosphoethanolamine and about 98.0% stated that this compound needs further studies before they are distributed to the population. In this way the present work clarifies the eminent doubts as well as helps in the knowledge of the population providing new sources of research.
