Some Characteristics of Honey and Propolis and Their Effects on Covid-19

Abstract

The new type of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by coronavirus‐2 (SARS-CoV-2) has recently led to a global pandemic due to severe acute respiratory syndrome. The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is the part of the coronavirus family that contaminates individuals after SARS coronavirus and MERS. Currently, there is no specific medicine, treatment, or vaccine for coronavirus disease. In addition, studies on the use of foods that can be defined as alternative medicine continue in this process. In this context, the consumption of honey bee products in the treatment process, which is called apitherapy, has attracted great interest. Even though the antimicrobial property and immune-strengthen effect of honey are clear, there are limited studies available on its effectiveness against coronavirus outbreaks. In vivo and in vitro studies have been conducted on the potential effects of honey against COVID-19 based on previously investigated antiviral effects and phytochemical components. Despite some bioactive compounds in honey (such as methylglyoxal, chrysin, caffeic acid, galangin, and hesperidin) have shown potential antiviral effects and strengthened the immune system, more studies are needed to understand the mechanism of action of these compounds. Propolis, a material produced by honey bees from disparate resinous substances collected from plants, has been utilized as a traditional herbal source for a long time. It is also commonly consumed as an immune system booster. In this case, with the COVID-19 outbreak, the interest in propolis products has increased even more in the world. Various aspects of the SARS-CoV-2 infection mechanism are potential targets for propolis compounds. SARS-CoV-2 entry into host cells is characterized by viral spike protein interaction with cellular ACE-2 and TMPRSS2. This mechanism involves high expression of PAK1, a kinase that mediates coronavirus-induced pneumonia, fibrosis and immune system suppression. There are various in vitro and in vivo antiviral activity studies investigating the inhibitory effects of propolis components on ACE-2, TMPRSS2 and PAK1 signaling pathways. The purpose of this research is to bring together the studies on COVID-19 with the health effects of honey and propolis, to contribute to the in vivo and clinical studies that are still required.
