“…As far as the constituents that are probably responsible for the antifungal effects are concerned, they are comparable with propolis samples originating from other countries reported in the literature [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. Future research of propolis is needed, particularly in the field of isolation and detailed description of its biologically active compounds.…”

Propolis has been used in traditional folk medicine for ages owing to a number of biological effects. Four propolis samples of Czech and one of Slovak origin were extracted using Soxhlet apparatus and analysed by thin-layer chromatography. Raw propolis samples and their extracts were tested by microdilution broth method to determine minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) in eight strains of human pathogenic fungi. Raw propolis samples showed a lower in vitro antifungal activity than their extracts. In general, the petroleum ether extracts exhibited the highest in vitro antifungal activity (MIC range of 16-64 µg/ml). The content of flavonoids in the samples varied according to region. The highest amount of flavonoids was found in sample A that originated from Broumov (4%). The most susceptible to the propolis extracts were Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Candida albicans. The propolis samples of Czech and Slovak origin and their extracts showed a considerable in vitro antifungal effect which was associated especially with nonpolar petroleum ether and toluene extracts. There was only a partial correlation between flavonoids content and in vitro antifungal activity.

“…Selection of agar dilution MIC endpoints presents a similar source of variability that must be controlled, but that is not unique to the test of antifungal agents. Koç et al advised that the NCCLS M27-A broth microdilution method was superior for the antifungal activity of propolis (34).…”

Antifungal Activities of Propolis Collected by Different Races of Honeybees Against Yeasts Isolated From Patients With Superficial Mycoses

et al. 2005

Abstract. Yeasts isolated from patients with superficial mycoses were tested against propolis samples collected from different regions and honeybee races. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values obtained using the agar dilution methods were compared to the diameters of growth inhibition zones by using the disk diffusion method. The results showed that Candida albicans, C. glabrata, Trichosporon spp., and Rhodotorula sp. were susceptible to low concentrations of propolis, the latter showing a higher susceptibility. Relative to the other propolis tested, the propolis sample collected by Apis mellifera caucasica possessed the highest antifungal activity against all of the superficial mycoses. In contrast, the propolis samples collected by A.m. carnica and A.m. anatolica were the least active samples. Also, the propolis sample from the Adana region is more active than samples from other regions. An increase of MIC values was accompanied by a decrease of growth inhibition zone diameters.

“…Ethanolic extract of Turkish propolis (PEE) collected from various areas show multi-properties activity as antibacterial (Keskin et al, 2001;Ozcan et al, 2004), antifungal (Koc et al, 2005), antioxidant (Kolankaya et al, 2002;Orhan et al, 1999) and anticarcinogenic (Ozkul et al, 2005). The chemicals compounds in propolis and biological activities depend on different factors such as the geographical regions, collection time and plant source (Bankova, 2005;Hegazi et al, 2014).…”

A B S T R A C T This study was conducted to evaluate Iraqi propolis against gray mold on orange. Propolis Ethanolic Extract (PEE) in three concentrations 1, 2 and 3% were used to treated orange treatments separately and storage at 25±2°C for three weeks. Results showed a significant reduced in disease severity in the first, second and third week for all PEE concentrations compared with infected control. The best treatment was 3% in disease severity reduction. Disease incidence was significantly reduced with the treatment treated with PEE for all concentrations compared with the pathogen treatment, both concentration of PEE 2 and 3% was the most effective. Also, all PEE concentrations reduce depth of the mold area compared with pathogen treatment. There are no significant differences in patulin production between PEE and pathogen treatments was founded.
