NZ propolis is sourced from poplar trees and the acylglycerols have been shown to be present in the leaves and buds of some commonpoplars.  The compounds are a series ofmonoglycerides containing 3,8-dihydroxy fatty acids, many of which are furtheracylated with acetic acid residues. The dihydroxy fatty acids are C18 to C24,with the most abundant being C20 and C22. These acyl glycerols were found tohave strong antiproliferative activity against three human gastro-intestinalcell lines, particularly gastric cancer cell line NCI-N87.    KW - New Zealand Propolis KW - Acyl Glycerols KW - Antiproliferative CR - 1.
