Acai may have anti-inflammatory effects Acai was found to be a potential cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and COX-2 inhibitor. Acai may be protective to the cardiovascular system Showed an endothelium dependant vasodilator effect on the vascular bed of rats. Acai fruit extract was shown to kill leukaemia cells is cell culture. In a study by the University of Florida, 6 different chemical extracts were made from acai fruit pulp and each extract was prepared in 7 concentrations. Four of the extracts were shown to kill significant numbers of leukaemia cells when applied for 24 hours. Depending on the extract and concentration, anywhere from about 35 % to 86% of the cells died.

Anthocyanins, which are responsible for the antioxidant effects of red wine, make up to 10% of the total antioxidant amount. Animal studies have shown it may have anti inflammatory and cardio protective effects.
