Brazilian Brown Propolis: an Overview About Its Chemical Composition, Botanical Sources, Quality Control, and Pharmacological Properties

Victor Pena Ribeiro et al.

Summary: Brazil is a major producer of propolis, with different types such as green, brown, and red. Brown propolis, though not as extensively studied as its green and red counterparts, holds significant economic and medicinal importance in Brazil. This review highlights the chemical constituents, botanical sources, chemistry, biological activities, and economic aspects of brown propolis, while also discussing the need for further research and development in analytical methods and quality control for its widespread application in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Propolis: chemical diversity and challenges in quality control

Deepak Kasote et al.

Summary: Propolis is a resinous natural product produced by honeybees using beeswax and plant exudates. Its chemical composition is highly complex and varies with region and season. Propolis has a wide range of biological activities and presents challenges for quality control. Analyzing and classifying propolis samples can help identify marker compounds for quality assessment.

Diterpenoid Constituents of Psiadia punctulata and Evaluation of Their Antimicrobial Activity

Giuliana Donadio et al.

Summary: Sixteen diterpenes, along with 10 previously described compounds, were isolated from Psiadia punctulata in Saudi Arabia. The diterpene structures were determined using NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry data. One of the compounds, psiadin, showed synergistic effect with the antiseptic chlorhexidine and potential inhibition activity against bacterial efflux pumps.

Antimitotic and toxicogenetic action of Stevia urticifolia aerial parts on proliferating vegetal and mammalian cells: in vitro and in vivo traditional and replacement methods

Paulo Michel Pinheiro Ferreira et al.

Summary: This study investigated the antiproliferative and toxicogenetic properties of the ethyl acetate extract from Stevia urticifolia aerial parts. It found that the extract had toxicity to microcrustaceans, antioxidant capacity, and antimitotic, cytotoxic, and clastogenic activities on both plant and mammalian cells. In vivo studies on mice showed no remarkable systemic effects or clinical signs of toxicity, suggesting the potential of Stevia urticifolia for the development of antineoplastic agents.

Advances on Natural Abietane, Labdane and Clerodane Diterpenes as Anti-Cancer Agents: Sources and Mechanisms of Action

Rosaria Acquaviva et al.

Summary: Extensive research has identified numerous phytochemicals as potential sources of anti-cancer compounds. Natural compounds are considered suitable candidates for the development of new anti-cancer drugs due to their pleiotropic actions. This comprehensive review focuses on the screening of phytochemicals, particularly diterpenes with abietane, clerodane, and labdane skeleton, for anticancer drug development, discussing their chemical structure, natural sources, and mechanisms of action.

Propolis induces cardiac metabolism changes in 6-hydroxydopamine animal model: A dietary intervention as a potential cardioprotective approach in Parkinson's disease

Valeria C. C. Goncalves et al.

Summary: While the older population worldwide continues to grow, ageing is a consistent risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease. A study has found that diet-derived bioactive compounds, such as green propolis, can modulate key biological processes underlying PD pathophysiology, including cardiovascular abnormalities. The study used metabolomics and PET imaging to assess the effects of propolis on heart outcomes in rats with Parkinsonism, revealing beneficial effects on cardiac metabolites and glucose metabolism.

Red propolis exhibits chemopreventive effect associated with antiproliferative and anti-inflammatory activities

Karoline Soares de Freitas et al.

Summary: The study found that RPHE can reduce DXR-induced genotoxicity, but it does not significantly alleviate DXR-induced GSH depletion. There was no significant difference in cytotoxicity parameters of mice hematopoietic tissues between the treatment groups, as well as the biochemical parameters of hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity. RPHE can reduce DMH-induced carcinogenicity and toxicity, as well as DMH-induced PCNA and COX-2 expression in colon tissue.

How diverse is the chemistry and plant origin of Brazilian propolis?

Antonio Salatino et al.

Summary: Propolis, a bee product, has various biological activities and is derived from plant buds or exudates. The types of Brazilian propolis are related to geographical regions and biomes. However, the diversity of plant sources of honey bee propolis in Brazil is expected to remain relatively low due to certain constraints honey bees face in collecting plant exudates.
