Brazilian organic propolis (BOP) is an unexplored Brazilian propolis that is produced organically and certified according to international legislation.
Our results showed that BOP has strong anti-inflammatory effects and acts by reducing NF-кB activation, TNF-α release and neutrophil migration. In addition, BOP6 exhibited antifungal activity on planktonic and biofilm cultures of Candida albicans, C. glabrata, C. tropicalis, C. krusei and C. parapsisolis, and it reduced in vitro yeast cell adhesion to human keratinocytes at sub-inhibitory concentrations. BOP demonstrated significantly low toxicity in Galleria melonella larvae at antifungal doses.
Lastly, a chemical analysis revealed the presence of caffeoyltartaric acid, 3,4-Dicaffeoylquinic acid, quercetin, gibberellin A7, A9 and A20 in BOP, which may be responsible for the biological properties observed. Thus, our data indicate that BOP is a promising source of anti-inflammatory and antifungal molecules that may be used as a functional food.
