The aim of this study was to compare the biological activities of ethanolic propolis extracts of Apis mellifera caucasica obtained from Ardahan and Erzurum provinces of Turkey. Samples were tested for antioxidant, anticytotoxic, anticarcinogenic, antibacterial, and antifungal potentials using different techniques. Propolis samples from the two provinces had different mineral and organic compositions related to their geographical origin. The ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) test showed superiority of Ardahan propolis over the Erzurum. Regardless of origin and the presence of mitomycin C in the culture medium, propolis enhanced human peripheral lymphocyte viability, which depended on the duration and propolis concentration. Antiperoxidative activity on MCF-7 breast cancer cells was concentration-dependent. Erzurum propolis showed the highest anticarcinogenic activity at the concentrations of 62.5 µg/mL and 125 µg/ mL, which dropped at higher concentrations. All propolis samples also showed antibacterial activity against the tested human pathogens similar to ampicillin and penicillin controls, except for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. However, they did not exert any antifungal activity against Candida albicans and Yarrowia lipolytica. In conclusion, propolis samples from both provinces showed promising biological activities, but further research should focus on finding the right concentrations for optimal effect and include the cell necrosis pathway to get a better idea of the anticarcinogenic effects.

“…More recently, these extracts have also shown antibacterial and inhibitory effects against strains causing pneumonia and other respiratory diseases such as Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538, Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027, against strains causing gastrointestinal infections such as Enterobacter aerogenes, Bacillus licheniformis, Escherichia coli or against Bacillus megaterium DSM 32 which can cause brain abscesses or bacteremia. 90 Recently, Nothegger et al 91 analyzed the allergenic potential of RFA cultivars to find suitable varieties for allergen immunotherapy to birch and pollen related apple allergy, given that most birch-pollen-allergic patients develop allergic cross-reactions to the major allergen found in apples (Mal d1), known as pollen-related food allergy. The authors found that RFA provoke less allergic reactions compared to other traditional apple cultivars and are suitable for the allergen immunotherapy treatment protocol of birch-pollen and pollenrelated food allergic patients, inducing oral tolerance.…”

Bu çalışmada Kars ilinin Kağızman ilçesi ve Gürcistan'ın Ahıska şehrinde yetiştirilen Uzun elma çeşidinin bazı biyoaktif bileşenleri, antioksidan ve antibakteriyel özellikleri ile mutajenik etki değerleri incelenmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda Kağızman örneğinde toplam fenolik madde ve toplam flavanoid madde içerikleri 93.66 mg GAE/100g ve 15.87 mg EC/100g iken Ahıska örneğinde sırasıyla 76.99 mg GAE/100g ve 10.89 mg EC/100g olarak belirlenmiştir. Genotiplerin antioksidan aktivite değerleri arasında önemli bir farklılık görülmemiştir (p>0.05). ABTS ve DPPH radikali süpürücü aktivite ile FRAP değerleri sırasıyla Kağızman ve Ahıska genotiplerinde % 66.86, 60.93; % 70.97, 72.57 ve 870.81, 874.45 µmol Fe II/g olarak belirlenmiştir. Sonuçlar incelendiğinde her iki genotipin ekstraktında da sadece Escherichia coli ATCC 8739'ye karşı antibakteriyal etki tespit edilmiş, bunun dışındaki test bakterileri için etki belirlenememiştir. Ekstrakların denenen dozlarında TA98 ve TA100 suşlarında mutajen etki bulunmamıştır. Sonuç olarak yetiştiricilik bölgesi farklılığının sadece toplam fenolik ve flavanoid madde miktarlarında etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir.
