Propolis is a balm-resinous substance that has several types of consistences and colorations, varying from brown to dark green. Bees collect it from several parts of the plants as sprouts, floral buttons and resinous exudates, being transported inside of the beehive and modified by the bees through its own enzymes. This substance is used by the bees in the entrance of the beehives in order to close openings, to avoid the penetration of cold wind and natural enemies (fungus and bacteria). Propolis is also used as construction material inside the beehive, welding honeycombs, frames and polishing the interior of the alveoli for the queen to do the posture. 

The chemical composition of propolis depends on the botanical ecology of each area and by the bee race, but generally, it is compose 50% of resin and balm, 30% of wax, 10% of essential and aromatic oils, 5% of pollen and 5% of several other substances. Until now, there are already more than 200 chemical compounds identified in the propolis, like flavonoids, aromatic acids, terpenoids, aldehydes, alcohols, aliphatic acid and esters, amino acids, steroids, sugar, etc.

Recent studies on tropical samples, especially Brazilian, lead to the discovery of new antibacterial compounds. A number of them are phenolics and their derivatives, although completely different from those found in European propolis. The most important ones are carbon-prenylated derivatives of p-coumaric acid, the 3,5-diprenyl-p-coumaric acid being one of the major antibacterial compounds in Brazilian propolis (Aga et al., 1994).

In countries of temperate climate from Europe and North America, the vegetables producing propolis are very few. The poplar, Populus L., of the family of Salicaceae is the main source. This vegetal species still can be found in Asia and North Africa. However, it is not regular in the tropics. There are several species in Brazil from which we can extract this resin. However, few species were identified so far, but roast-fish, aroeira, rosemary and eucalyptus are some examples of vegetables that produce propolis. 

Intensive researches performed in the Brazilian Green Propolis reveal that these compounds are the agents for its several physiologic actions: anti-microbe (it works as a natural antibiotic), anti-inflammatory, healing, anesthetic, antioxidant (it combats free radicals), anti-fungal, anti protozoa, antiviral and also anticancer.

Special attention has been directed toward the anti-tumor effects of propolis. Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) is the anti-tumor substances from propolis that has received the most attention. Its anti-tumor properties were discovered in a bioassay-guided chemical study of propolis by the research group of Koji Nakanishi (Grundberger et al., 1988) and examined thoroughly. CAPE was found to inhibit human breast carcinoma and melanoma cell lines in culture. Human tumor cells displayed a significantly greater sensitivity to the action of CAPE than the analogous normal lines of non-tumorous cells in that the CAPE was more toxic to the tumor cells than to the normal ones.

Similar results were obtained using other propolis constituents with similar structures: methyl caffeate and phenethyl ester of dimethylcaffeic acid (Rao et al., 1992). Brazilian propolis delivered structurally different anti-tumor agents: carbon-prenylated derivatives of p-coumaric acids, e.g. 3,5-diprenyl-p-coumaric acid and similar molecules showed cytotoxic activity in vitro against human tumor cell lines, as well as in vivo in mice transplanted with human tumor cells (Kimoto et al., 1998). Another group of anti-tumor propolis constituents was isolated from Brazilian samples, too: clerodane diterpenic acids, active against human hepatocelular carcinoma (Matsuno et al., 1997). At present this field is being studied extensively by several research group in Japan.

Uniflora Propolis Extracts are made with 100% Brazilian Green Propolis highly concentrated (considered one of the best in the world), obtained from controlled raw propolis, collected in areas free of contamination, using equipment developed to maximize the extraction process.

Uniflora has a staff with full knowledge and equipments highly necessary to accomplish the manipulation and the quality control of our propolis extracts. In this way, we can guarantee that the high properties of the propolis are not being harmed or wasted.
 

Anti-influenza virus effect of some propolis constituents and their analogues (esters of substituted cinnamic acids).

Serkedjieva J, Manolova N, Bankova V.

Institute of Microbiology, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia.

The antiviral activity of six synthetic substances, esters of substituted cinnamic acids, identical with or analogous to some of the constituents of the Et2O fraction of propolis was studied in vitro. One of them, isopentyl ferulate, inhibited significantly the infectious activity of influenza virus A/Hong Kong (H3N2) in vitro and the production of hemagglutinins in egg. By the use of diverse experimental patterns, it was found that the maximal inhibition of viral reproduction was observed when test substances were present in the medium during the whole infectious process.
