New Way to Produce Medicines Containing Propolis
Revista Fitos, 3/3/2006
Abstract: A chemical process to classify many chemical substances in Brazilian propolis, employing High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) was developed. It was possible to identify and quantify the different chemical compounds in this resin.
A separation process by liquid chromatography, able to identify the main components of propolis samples (markers), was established. After investigated more than two hundred samples, it was developed a method for the quality control of many compounds in this bee product. Using the quantitative HPLC, a classification for Brazilian propolis, based in the presence of markers was established.
The process includes the data imputed in a program to quantify the substances identified by HPLC and establishes the classification using the amount of each chemical component in different types of Brazilian propolis. This is a new way for pharmaceutical industry developed new products using this classification for quality control.
