Several medicinal properties, such as antibacterial, antifungal, healing and antioxidant activities, are popularly reported for honey. Few studies have been done on the antimicrobial activity (AA) of honey produced by social bees from the sub-family Meliponinae. The objective of this study was to investigate the AA of honey produced by Nannotrigona...
Propolis from Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera, Apidae) is a hive product elaborated from resinous exudates that honeybees gather from certain trees and plants. The chemical composition of propolis is complex and related to vegetal diversity found around the hive. Although propolis has widely been used in folk medicine for thousands of years, a lack...
This study evaluated the antimicrobial activities (AA) of hydroalcoholic extracts obtained from 17 species of native Brazilian trees. The agar diffusion method was used against 10 different microorganisms isolated from inoculi obtained from clinically infected spots, for antibiosis assay purposes. Of the 170 tested carried out, 25% exhibited high A...
Since primeval times, the inflammatory process has been described in many different ways. Several anti-inflammatory therapies have been used in different biological models. However, in a recent "back to nature move", modern man is searching for natural products with medicinal properties, particularly those obtained from plants and bees. Propolis ha...

... In the study by Gonçalves et al. (2005), the hydroalcoholic extract of the bark of M. tenuiflora trunk was analyzed at a concentration of 100 mg/mL on bacteria isolated from clinical samples. This study corroborates that of Gonçalves et al. (2013), regarding the sensitivity of S. aureus to the extract, besides demonstrating that other bacteria, such as Streptococcus pyogenes, Proteus mirabilis, Shigella sonnei and Staphylococcus spp. negative coagulase were also sensitive to the hydroalcoholic extract of the plant. ...
... Cashew nuts have been used in traditional medicine to treat thrush, ulcers, impinges, bronchitis, and arthritis, among others, due to their antiseptic and antiinflammatory properties. The components of the extract derived from cashew nutshell are proven effective in controlling Candida albicans and Candida utilis and have antimicrobial action on Gram-positive cells, which corroborates the results obtained by this study [12][13][14][15]. ...
... Polyphenols, flavonoids, caffeic acid phenethyl ester, acacetin, etheric oils, and polyprenylated benzophenones are the main components of propolis responsible for its anti-inflammatory action (de Almeida and Menezes, 2002;Ramos and Miranda, 2007;Özdemir et al., 2022). Propolis inhibits myeloperoxidase activity, NADPH-oxidase ornithine decarboxylase, tyrosine-protein-kinase, and hyaluronidase from guinea pig mast cells (de Almeida and Menezes, 2002). ...
... Honey, along with other bee products, is associated with the image of a natural, healthy, and clean product [1]; its medicinal properties and antimicrobial activity are generally related to its physical and chemical characteristics [2]. Gonçalves et al. [3] mentioned that in addition to its nutritional properties, the use of honey in folk medicine is also due to its pharmacological properties. Among these properties, antimicrobial activity has attracted interest among researchers because of its potential applicability in clinical cases [4][5][6]. ...
... Frontiers in Pharmacology frontiersin.org and extraction method, which in turn directly influence the observed pharmacological properties (Menezes, 2005). To overcome these constrains, here we employed two formulations of Brazilian green propolis derived from standardized propolis extract (EPP-AF ® ), produced and characterized by Apis Flora Ltda., in order to ensure reproducibility across batches (Berretta et al., 2012). ...
