Resumo: The Amazon Rainforest is rich in a diversity of species with various bioactive properties that have been widely used to treat a variety of inflammatory diseases. During the infection process, an oxidative stress environment is created that leads to cellular damage mediated by the transcription factor NF-kB, and triggers the production of pro-inflammatory chemical mediators, such as tumor necrosis factor-α [TNF-α] and interleukins IL-1β, IL-6, which causes a decline in the immune system. In this sense, the camu-camu fruit, which is native to the Amazon region, has in its nutritional composition several bioactive compounds and the highest level of vitamin C among Brazilian tropical fruits. It is also noted for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore, the objective of this review is to analyze the evidence collected in the literature regarding camu-camu as a functional food for the immune system in oxidative and inflammatory events.

Durante el proceso de infección, se crea un entorno de estrés oxidativo que conduce a un daño celular mediado por el factor de transcripción NF-kB, y desencadena la producción de mediadores químicos proinflamatorios, como el factor de necrosis tumoral-α [TNF-α] y las interleucinas IL-1β, IL-6, lo que provoca una disminución del sistema inmunitario. En este sentido, el fruto del camu-camu, originario de la región amazónica, tiene en su composición nutricional varios compuestos bioactivos y el mayor nivel de vitamina C entre las frutas tropicales brasileñas. También destaca por sus propiedades antioxidantes y antiinflamatorias. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de esta revisión es analizar las evidencias recogidas en la literatura sobre el camu-camu como alimento funcional para el sistema inmune en eventos oxidativos e inflamatorios.A floresta tropical amazónica é rica numa diversidade de espécies com diversas propriedades bioativas que têm sido amplamente utilizados para tratar uma variedade de doenças inflamatórias.

Neste sentido, o fruto Camu-camu, nativo da região amazónica, tem na sua composição nutricional vários compostos bioativos e o nível mais elevado de vitamina C entre os frutos tropicais brasileiros. Também se destaca pelas suas propriedades antioxidantes e anti-inflamatórias.
