Article Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the antibacterial activity of red propolis and resin and their association with standard antibiotics to evaluate possible differences of activity. We also submitted red propolis and the resin to a HPLC analysis to confirm the botanical origin. The extracts were tested against P. aeruginosa and S. aureus alone and in association with gentamicin and imipenem. The HPLC analysis identified seven compounds with six of them present in both substances. The lowest MIC values obtained in this study were observed against S. aureus. In general, MIC values showed to be lower for red propolis against all species tested in comparison to resin. Despite the synergistic behavior to be similar for both substances, we observed that inhibitory concentrations of drugs were lower when associated with red propolis in comparison to resin.

The aim of this study was to evaluate effects of neovestitol-vestitol fraction (NVF) on an subgingival multispecies biofilm. The 33-species biofilm was formed for seven days using a Calgary device. Starting on day 3, treatments for applied twice daily for 1 min each: NV (400-1,600 µgml), chlorhexidine 0.

is a globally distributed protozoan parasite and a major cause of congenital infections, particularly in South America. Current therapies for congenital toxoplasmosis are limited by toxicity, long treatment regimens, and suboptimal efficacy, highlighting the urgent need for safer and more effective alternatives. In this study, we evaluated the antiparasitic effects of crude ethanolic extract of Brazilian Red Propolis (BRP) and its isolated compounds, focusing on 7-O-methylvestitol, in human trophoblast (BeWo) cells and third-trimester placental explants.

Skin lesions, particularly burns, compromise the skin barrier and require effective treatment to accelerate healing and prevent infections. This study evaluated a topical formulation containing Olivem® 1000 and red propolis, which is rich in flavonoids, phenolic acids, and other bioactive compounds with antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Stability tests confirmed that the formulation remained stable under high temperatures, with minimal changes in pH and viscosity, ensuring long-term effectiveness.

The environment and human health are greatly suffering as a result of pollution. The textile sector is a significant generator of dyes, which are colored chemicals that are among the most significant water pollutants. In order to produce and optimize green mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) for the treatment of wastewater discharged from the textile industry, propolis (bee glue) was used as an additive to improve the performance of the PES membrane.

Background: The aim of the study was to analyze the sealing ability and microtensile bond strength of a dental adhesive with propolis.
Material And Methods: Red propolis extract was added to an experimental methacrylate-based adhesive (EA) at following concentrations: 100 (EA PV100), 250 (EA PV250) e 500 μg/mL (EA PV500). Single Bond Universal adhesive (SB) and EA without propolis were used as controls.
