| 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 Propolis is chemically diverse (300+ compounds reported) and composition depends on botanical/geographic source. Antibacterial activity is documented in classic literature (often stronger against Gram+). CAPE from propolis has reported preferential tumor cytotoxicity in early landmark work (often cited in antimicrobial paper references) 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.

| JNK acts synergistically with NF-κB, JAK/STAT, and other signaling molecules to exert a survival function. Janus signaling promotes cancer cell survival. JNK, or c-Jun N-terminal kinase, is a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family. It plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis (programmed cell death). JNK is activated in response to various stress signals, such as UV radiation, oxidative stress, and inflammatory cytokines. JNK activation can promote apoptosis in cancer cells, acting as a tumor suppressor. However, in other contexts, it can promote cell survival and proliferation, contributing to tumor progression. JNK is often unregulated in cancers, leading to increased cancer cell proliferation, survival, and resistance to apoptosis. This activation is typically associated with poor prognosis and aggressive tumor behavior. |
