“…In our study TPC of EEP was measured at 124.6 ± 1.5 mg GAE/g sample dry weight using the FolinCiocalteu method. TPC in ethanolic extracts of propolis have been reported at 174.7 mg GAE/g sample dry weight from China [25], 151.5 mg GAE/g sample dry weight from Brazil [1] and 31.2 -299 mg GAE/g sample dry weight from other parts of the world [24]. TFC of EEP in this study was 42 ± 0.8 QE/g sample dry weight.…”

Objective: Propolis is an important bee product, rich in polyphenolic compounds. It has antitumoral, antioxidant, antimutagenic, and other useful activities. Biological activities of propolis are generally attributed to its substance of polyphenolic compounds. The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro antioxidant properties and reduction amount of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in human normal foreskin fibroblast cells by Turkish propolis ethanolic extract (EEP). Method: Total phenolic and flavonoid contents, reducing power, radical scavenging capacity, and iron chelating activity of EEP were determined using spectrophotometric methods. Intracellular ROS levels were determined by spectrofluorometric analysis with CM-H 2 DCFDA. Results: Our results indicated that antioxidant activity was correlated with the higher total phenolic and flavonoid contents of EEP. The generated ROS levels were significantly decreased by EEP compared to only t-BHP group. Conclusion: Ethanolic propolis extract may be evaluated as a potency antioxidant resource and/or a novel natural agent in food and drug industries.

“…More than 300 substances have been identified in samples of propolis from different regions (PEREIRA et al, 2002). Classes of compounds commonly found in propolis include flavonoids (PETROVA et al, 2010), prenylated flavanones (EL-BASSUONY, 2009), benzopyranes (SILICI et al, 2007), benzophenones (ISHIDA et al, 2011), caffeic acid esters (CAO et al, 2011), triterpenoids (PEREZ et al, 2009), benzoic acid (XU et al, 2010) and cin na mi c aci d deri va ti ves (YANG, 2011), an d naphthoquinone epoxides (TRUSHEVA et al, 2006).…”

To contribute to the development of antibacterial products from propolis produced by native Brazilian bees, twenty-nine samples of propolis collected from hives in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, were screened for in vitro activity against Aeromonas hydrophila, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus. Among the samples from native Brazilian bees, only that from Frieseomelitta varia (Lepeletier, 1836) inhibited in vitro bacterial growth. Consequently, this propolis underwent fractionation by chromatographic methods monitored through Agar-diffusion assays with these bacteria, which resulted in the isolation and identification of 3,5-diprenyl-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (artepillin C), which showed MIC of 62.5 and 250 µg/mL against B. subtilis and S. aureus, respectively. This result indicates the potential of F. varia to produce therapeutic propolis.Index terms: Artepillin C, stingless bees, antibiotic. RESUMOPara contribuir para o desenvolvimento de produtos antibacterianos obtidos de própolis produzidos por abelhas nativas do Brasil, 29 tipos de própolis coletados de diferentes colméias no Estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil, foram avaliados quanto à atividade in vitro contra Aeromonas hydrophila, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, e Staphylococcus aureus. Dentre as amostras de abelhas nativas, somente a de Frieseomelitta varia (Lepeletier, 1836) inibiu, em teste in vitro, o crescimento bacteriano. Consequentemente, essa própolis foi submetida a métodos cromatográficos para o fracionamento biomonitorado por teste de difusão em Agar com as referidas bactérias, o que resultou no isolamento e identificação do ácido 3,5-diprenil-4-hidroxicinâmico (artepelin C), que apresentou CIM de 62,5 e 250 µg/mL frente a B. subtilis e S. aureus, respectivamente. Esses resultados indicam o potencial de F. varia para a produção de própolis terapêutica.Termo para indexação: Artepelin C, abelhas sem ferrão, antibiótico.
