Abstract

Propolis is a resinous substance collected by bees from plants and its natural product is available as a safe therapeutic option easily administered orally and readily available as a natural supplement and functional food. In this work, we review the most recent scientific evidence involving propolis from two countries (Brazil and Mexico) located in different hemispheres and with varied biomes. Brazil has a scientifically well documented classification of different types of propolis. Although propolis from Brazil and Mexico present varied compositions, they share compounds with recognized biological activities in different extraction processes. Gram-negative bacteria growth is inhibited with lower concentrations of different types of propolis extracts, regardless of origin. Prominent biological activities against cancer cells and fungi were verified in the different types of extracts evaluated. Antiprotozoal activity needs to be further evaluated for propolis of both origins. Regarding the contamination of propolis (e.g., pesticides, toxic metals), few studies have been carried out. However, there is evidence of chemical contamination in propolis by anthropological action. Studies demonstrate the versatility of using propolis in its different forms (extracts, products, etc.), but several potential applications that might improve the value of Brazilian and Mexican propolis should still be investigated.

  • The same antibacterial behavior (better against Gram-positive than Gram-negative) has been reported for propolis from Brazil, Canada, Africa, and Mexico (Sonora).

    “The same behavior has already been reported with propolis from Brazil, Canada, Africa and Mexico (Sonora) [38,39,40,41,42].”

    From Anti-Inflammatory and Histological Analysis of Skin Wound Healing through Topical Application of Mexican Propolis (2023) · cites this paper as [42]

    Section 3.5 (Antibacterial Activity; page unavailable) reports higher activity against Gram-positive than Gram-negative strains for Brazilian and Mexican propolis extracts. The paper does not establish that pattern for Canada or Africa, and the passage does not identify the Mexican samples as specifically from Sonora. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
