“…The Pro radical scavenging and antioxidant activities were formerly proven with concentration-dependent traits [57,58], which are strongly involved in the protection of fish fillets from fat going rancid and protein decomposition. The bioactivities of Pro are principally attributed to its contents from phytochemicals (e.g., phenolic compounds; volatile aromatics, flavonoids and terpenes) [16,58]. The antimicrobial potentiality (toward diverse bacteria, yeast, parasites and molds) and antioxidant activity of many Pro polyphenols were demonstrated [12,16,57].…”

“…More than 850 components have been identified in different propolis types around the world. These phytochemical groups include: volatile oils, alcohols, flavonoids, alkanes, aromatic acids, terpenoids, sugar alcohols, aldehydes, chalcones, amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, sugars and hydrocarbons, wax esters, ketones, phenols, glycerol derivatives and trace minerals [13,15,16]. However, the propolis extract (Pro) exhibited high potentiality for reducing metal ions to their nanoforms, due to its remarkable reducing, capping and stabilizing activities [12,17].…”

Bee products, e.g., chitosan and propolis (Pro), have extraordinary importance in many disciplines including food biopreservation. Fish meat is highly susceptible to vast spoilage, especially catfish (Clarias gariepinus) products. The current work involved the extraction of bees’ chitosan nanoparticles (BCht), Pro, Pro-mediated SeNPs and their composites, to evaluate them as potential antimicrobial and preservative nano-compounds, for the preservation of catfish fillets and augment their quality. BCht was extracted from bees (Apis mellifera) corpses and had a 151.9 nm mean particle diameter. The Pro was used for biosynthesis of SeNPs, which had 11.2 nm mean diameters. The entire compounds/composites exhibited powerful antibacterial acts against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhimurium, where S aureus had the uppermost resistance. BCht/Pro/SeNPs were the most forceful toward all bacterial strains. The constructed edible coatings (ECs) from produced compounds/composites (BCht, Pro, Pro/SeNPs, Pro/BCht and BCht/Pro/SeNPs) had elevated efficiency for preserving catfish fillets during cold storages for 7 days. The microbiological (total counts, psychrophilic bacteria, yeast and molds), spoilage chemical parameters (TVB-N, TBARS) and sensorial attributes (appearance, odor, color, overall quality) of ECs-treated fillets indicated the nanocomposite's efficiency for protecting the fish from microbial growth, the progress of chemical spoilage indicators and maintaining the sensorial quality of treated stored fillets. The most effective nanocomposite for maintaining the entire fillet’s quality was the BCht/Pro/SeNP. The based ECs on BNCt, Pro/SeNPs and their nanocomposites could be endorsed for prospective employment in the biopreservation of various seafoods.

“…e honeybee products like honey, beeswax, bee venom, and bee pollen have been used as traditional medicine and also exhibited antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties in several preclinical studies in cell line and animal experiments [13][14][15][16][17]. e word "Propolis" comes from Greek that means defense for "pro" and city or community for "polis," or the beehive in other words.…”

Propolis is a natural compound collected by honeybees from different parts of plants. Honeybees produce a sticky component besides honey by mixing the tree resin and other botanical sources with saliva called propolis or bee glue. Propolis was traditionally used as a wound healing substance, cosmetic, medicine, and many other conditions. Till now, there is no definite curable treatment for most cancers and chemotherapeutic drugs and drugs used for targeted therapies have serious side effects. According to a recent research, natural products are becoming increasingly essential in cancer prevention. Natural products are a great source of potential therapeutic agents, especially in the treatment of cancer. Previous studies have reported that the presence of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), artepillin C, and chrysin is responsible for the anticancer potential of propolis. Most of the previous studies suggested that propolis and its active compounds inhibit cancer progression by targeting multiple signaling pathways including phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3K)/Akt and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling molecules, and induce cell cycle arrest. Induction of apoptosis by propolis is mediated through extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic pathways. The aim of this review is to highlight and summarize the molecular targets and anticancer potential of propolis and its active compounds on cell survival, proliferation, metastasis, and apoptosis in cancer cells.

“…The first isolated constituents from propolis were vanillin, cinnamic acid, and cinnamyl alcohol [ 13 ]. Propolis has been intensely studied for the last decades, and up to the year 2000, at least 300 compounds have been identified in propolis [ 16 , 31 , 32 , 33 ], and 112 flavonoids were identified in various types of propolis from 2000 to 2012 [ 16 ]. Between 2013 and 2018, at least 305 compounds were isolated from propolis for the first time, including the isolation of alkaloids [ 31 ].…”

Altogether, up to the year 2018, more than 850 compounds have been reported from propolis [ 32 , 33 ]. In available publications, we have not found the information on how many compounds have been found from 2018 until now.…”

Chemical Variability and Pharmacological Potential of Propolis as a Source for the Development of New Pharmaceutical Products

This review aims to analyze propolis as a potential raw material for the development and manufacture of new health-promoting products. Many scientific publications were retrieved from the Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases via searching the word "propolis". The different extraction procedures, key biologically active compounds, biological properties, and therapeutic potential of propolis were analyzed. It was concluded that propolis possesses a variety of biological properties because of a very complex chemical composition that mainly depends on the plant species visited by bees and species of bees. Numerous studies found versatile pharmacological activities of propolis: antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral, antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, etc. In this review, the composition and biological activities of propolis are presented from a point of view of the origin and standardization of propolis for the purpose of the development of new pharmaceutical products on its base. It was revealed that some types of propolis, especially European propolis, contain flavonoids and phenolic acids, which could be markers for the standardization and quality evaluation of propolis and its preparations. One more focus of this paper was the overview of microorganisms’ sensitivity to propolis for further development of antimicrobial and antioxidant products for the treatment of various infectious diseases with an emphasis on the illnesses of the oral cavity. It was established that the antimicrobial activity of different types of propolis is quite significant, especially to Gram-negative bacteria and lipophilic viruses. The present study could be also of interest to the pharmaceutical industry as a review for the appropriate design of standardized propolis preparations such as mouthwashes, toothpastes, oral drops, sprays, creams, ointments, suppositories, tablets, and capsules, etc. Moreover, propolis could be regarded as a source for the isolation of biologically active substances. Furthermore, this review can facilitate partially overcoming the problem of the standardization of propolis preparations, which is a principal obstacle to the broader use of propolis in the pharmaceutical industry. Finally, this study could be of interest in the area of the food industry for the development of nutritionally well-balanced products. The results of this review indicate that propolis deserves to be better studied for its promising therapeutic effects from the point of view of the connection of its chemical composition with the locality of its collection, vegetation, appropriate extraction methods, and standardization.
