“…Simultaneously, Metzner with coworkers using bioautographic methods proved that only a few compounds detectable in the extracts of propolis have significant antimycotic activity [88]. In 1977, Australian researchers separated and identified four flavones, pinostrobin, sakuranetin, isosakuranetin, pterostilbene, chrysin, 3,5-dimethoxybenzyl alcohol, and xanthorrhoeol [89]. In 1979 Vanhaelen and Vanhaelen-Fastre used gas chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in propolis analysis.…”

Propolis (bee glue) has been known for centuries. The ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians were aware of the healing properties of propolis and made extensive use of it as a medicine. In the middle ages propolis was not a very popular topic and its use in mainstream medicine disappeared. However, the knowledge of medicinal properties of propolis survived in traditional folk medicine. The interest in propolis returned in Europe together with the renaissance theory of ad fontes. It has only been in the last century that scientists have been able to prove that propolis is as active and important as our forefathers thought. Research on chemical composition of propolis started at the beginning of the twentieth century and was continued after WW II. Advances in chromatographic analytical methods enabled separation and extraction of several components from propolis. At least 180 different compounds have been identified so far. Its antibacterial, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, anesthetic, and healing properties have been confirmed. Propolis has been effectively used in treatment of dermatological, laryngological, and gynecological problems, neurodegenerative diseases, in wound healing, and in treatment of burns and ulcers. However, it requires further research that may lead to new discoveries of its composition and possible applications.

“…These chemicals are produced by microbial infections and environmental stress and have several biological properties. Mašek et al (2018) and Ghisalberti et al (1977) identified bactericidal effects in propolis. By preventing bacterial cell division, it may harm the cytoplasm or cell wall and limit protein synthesis (Al-Fahdawi, 2015;Rufatto et al, 2011).…”

the adverse effects of contemporary synthetic pharmaceuticals continue to escalate, individuals are reverting to traditional herbal remedies on the grounds that they are more secure (Khan et al., 2018). Asia is a continent whose climate is optimal for supporting its distinct flora and fauna. The vast majority of nations in this area are underdeveloped. Numerous individuals are unable to pay for costly prescriptions due to poverty. As a result, an investigation into the antibacterial medications from
