Composition
and biological active properties of propolis is depends many different
parameters, such as floral sources, collecting season, and beekeeper’s
performance. In this study, phenolic composition and some apiterapeutic
potentials of chestnut originated propolis samples were investigated. The raw
propolis samples were obtained from Balıkesir region of Turkey. Antioxidant,
anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumoral properties of the ethanolic
samples were investigated. A wide screening antimicrobial tests againts some
pathogenic microorganism of Escherichia
coli, Yersinia pseudo tuberculosis, Helicobacter
pylori, Klebsiella pneumonias subp.
pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus
mutants, Streptococcus
agalactiae, Bacillus
cereus, Lactobacillus acidophilus,
Lactobacillus casei, Mycobacterium smegmatis, Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis and Saccharomyces
cerevisiae were tested. Cytotoxic and anti-proliferative activities were
measured in the four transformed human cell lines of cervical carcinoma (HeLa), lung adenocarcinoma (A-549), colon adenocarcinoma (HT-29)
and endometrial adenocarcinoma (CRL-2923) and normal cell line of retina
pigment (ARPE) were investigated. Anti-inflammatory properties were measured by
their anti-human testicular hyaluronidase and urease of Helicobacter pylori. The results were showed that chestnut
originated propolis samples were apitherapeutic potentials.
