Brazilian Green Propolis often considered best • Derived from Baccharis dracunulifolia, this type is rich in artepillin C. • It has been widely researched for its anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. -Propolis common researched flavonoids :chrysin, pinocembrin, galangin, pinobanksin(Pinocembrin) -most representative phenolic acids were caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, and ferulic acid, as well as their derivatives, DMCA and caffeic acid prenyl, benzyl, phenylethyl (CAPE), and cinnamyl esters -One of the most studied active compounds of a poplar-type propolis is caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) -caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), galangin, chrysin, nemorosone, propolin G, artepillin C, cardanol, pinocembrin, pinobanksin, chicoric acid, and phenolic acids (caffeic acid, ferulic acid, and coumaric acid), as well as luteolin, apigenin, myricetin, naringenin, kaempferol, quercetin, polysaccharides, tannins, terpenes, sterols, and aldehydes -content highly variable based on location and extraction Two main factors of interest: 1. affects interstitual fluild pH 2. high concentration raises ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species), while low concentration may reduce ROS - Artepillin-C (major phenolic compounds found in Brazilian green propolis (BGP)) - caffeic acid major source Do not combine with 2DG Pathways: -Propolis compounds (e.g., artepillin C, caffeic acid phenethyl ester [CAPE]) can trigger apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancer cells. -Propolis has been shown to inhibit NF‑κB activation. -Propolis extracts can cause cell cycle arrest at specific checkpoints (e.g., G0/G1 or G2/M phases). -Enhance the body’s antitumor immune responses, for example by activating natural killer (NK) cells and modulating cytokine profiles. -Note half-life no standard, high variablity of content. BioAv poor water solubility, and low oral bioavailability. Pathways: - high concentration may induce ROS production, while low concentrations mya low it. This may apply to both normal and cancer cells. Normal Cells Example.

A radiosensitizer is an agent that makes cancer cells more sensitive to the damaging effects of radiation therapy. By using a radiosensitizer, clinicians aim to enhance the effectiveness of radiation treatment by either increasing the damage incurred by tumor cells or by interfering with the cancer cells’ repair mechanisms. This can potentially allow for lower doses of radiation, reduced side effects, or improved treatment outcomes. Pathways that help Radiosensitivity: downregulating HIF-1α, increase SIRT1, Txr List of Natural Products with radiosensitizing properties: -Curcumin:modulate NF-κB, STAT3 and has been shown in preclinical studies to enhance the effects of radiation by inhibiting cell survival pathways. -Resveratrol: -EGCG: -Quercetin: -Genistein: -Parthenolide: How radiosensitizers inhibit the thioredoxin (Trx) system in cellular contexts. Notable radiosensitizers, including: -gold nanoparticles (GNPs), -gold triethylphosphine cyanide ([Au(SCN) (PEt3)]), -auranofin, ceria nanoparticles (CONPs), -curcumin and its derivatives, -piperlongamide, -indolequinone derivatives, -micheliolide, -motexafin gadolinium, and -ethane selenide selenidazole derivatives (SeDs) |
