Features: Compound
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)

3249- PBG,    Can Propolis Be a Useful Adjuvant in Brain and Neurological Disorders and Injuries? A Systematic Scoping Review of the Latest Experimental Evidence
- Review, Var, NA
*Inflam↓, ropolis was consistently demonstrated to reduce the expression of inflammatory and oxidative markers such as malonaldehyde (MDA), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), nitric oxide (NO), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)
*ROS↓,
*MDA↓,
*TNF-α↓,
*NO↓,
*iNOS↓,
*SOD↑, while increasing and maintaining antioxidant parameters, namely superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), and glutathione (GSH)
*GPx↑,
*GSR↓,
*GSH↑,
*neuroP↑, neuroprotective effect of propolis was also demonstrated in terms of alleviating symptoms associated with aneurysm, ischemia, ischemia-reperfusion and traumatic brain injuries.
*IL6↓, Propolis reduced the expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6), TNF-α, matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), MMP-9, monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), and iNOS
*MMP2↓,
*MMP9↓,
*MCP1↓,
*HSP70/HSPA5↑, while increasing the expression of protective proteins such as heat shock protein-70 (hsp70)
*motorD↑, significantly ameliorate the impairment of sensory–motor and other physical indices in animals subjected to these injuries
*Pain↓, Unsurprisingly, propolis was shown to be effective in attenuating symptoms of neuroinflammation, pain, and oxidative stress.
*VCAM-1↓, consistently shown to reduce inflammation markers such as vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)-
*NF-kB↓,
*MAPK↓,
*JNK↓,
*IL1β↓, It also reduced the expression of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α
*AChE↓, propolis inhibited the activity of both acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase in a dose-dependent manner
*toxicity∅, Kalia et al. (2014) observed no cytotoxicity in organs, including the brain of normal mice fed up to 1000 mg propolis extract/ kg body weight.
