Chemical composition and pharmacological aspects of Malaysian stingless bee propolis: An up‑to‑date systematic review. Chemical composition and pharmacological aspects of Malaysian stingless bee propolis: An up‑to‑date systematic review, 22. (2024)
Abstract
Propolis is a sticky substance produced by sting‑
less bees for construction and defence of their hive. It has
notable anti‑inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, anti‑
fungal, anti‑hyperglycemic, and wound healing effects. The
present review summarised and examined the phytochemical
properties, mode of action and current research prospects of
Malaysian propolis. A database search using Google Scholar,
Web of Science and ScienceDirect generated 780 references; 30 relevant articles were included in the present review, of which 23 were in vitro studies and 7 were in vivo or animal studies. Propolis demonstrated antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, anti‑inflammatory and anti‑hyperglycemic properties, indi‑cating potential as a wound healing agent. Despite favourable findings, due to the scarcity of studies in the literature, more in‑depth research and clinical validation on the synergistic effects, efficacy and optimum dosage of propolis are needed.
