| 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. (Also not sure if high level are acheivable in vivo due to bioavailability) - ROS↑ related: MMP↓(ΔΨm), ER Stress↑, UPR↑, GRP78↑, Ca+2↑, Cyt‑c↑, Caspases↑, DNA damage↑, cl-PARP↑, HSP↓, Prx, SOD↓, GSH↓ Catalase↓ HO1↓ GPx↓ --> - Raises AntiOxidant defense in Normal Cells: ROS↓, NRF2↑, SOD↑, GSH↑, Catalase↑, - lowers Inflammation : NF-kB↓, COX2↓, Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines : NLRP3↓, TNF-α↓, IL-6↓, IL-8↓ - inhibit Growth/Metastases : TumMeta↓, TumCG↓, EMT↓, MMPs↓, MMP2↓, MMP9↓, IGF-1↓, uPA↓, VEGF↓, ROCK1↓, FAK↓, RhoA↓, NF-κB↓, TGF-β↓, α-SMA↓, ERK↓ - reactivate genes thereby inhibiting cancer cell growth : HDAC↓, P53↑, - cause Cell cycle arrest : TumCCA↑, cyclin D1↓, cyclin E↓, CDK2↓, CDK4↓, CDK6↓, - inhibits Migration/Invasion : TumCMig↓, TumCI↓, TNF-α↓, FAK↓, ERK↓, EMT↓, TOP1↓, TET1, - inhibits glycolysis /Warburg Effect and ATP depletion : HIF-1α↓, PKM2↓, cMyc↓, GLUT1↓, LDH↓, LDHA↓, HK2↓, PFKs↓, PDKs↓, GRP78↑, GlucoseCon↓ - inhibits angiogenesis↓ : VEGF↓, HIF-1α↓, - Others: PI3K↓, AKT↓, STAT↓, β-catenin↓, AMPK, ERK↓, JNK, - Synergies: chemo-sensitization, chemoProtective, RadioSensitizer, RadioProtective, Others(review target notes), Neuroprotective, Cognitive, Renoprotection, Hepatoprotective, CardioProtective, - Selectivity: Cancer Cells vs Normal Cells |

| Higher blood levels of IGF-1, a growth factor, are linked to increased risk of several types of cancer, including thyroid, melanoma and myeloma. IGF-1 is what some call "a growth-promoter" because it has been shown to promote the growth of cancer cells. The IGF-1 signaling pathway promotes cancer progression; its downregulation is associated with lowered risk. |
