Functional Properties of Honey, Propolis, and Royal Jelly
M. VIUDA-MARTOS, Y. RUIZ-NAVAJAS, J. FERN´ANDEZ-L´OPEZ, AND J.A. P´EREZ-´ALVAREZ
Propolis and its derivates have the capacity to inhibit virus propagation. Several in vitro studies have shown the effect of propolis on the DNA and RNA of different viruses, among them Herpes simplex type 1, Herpes simplex type 2, adenovirus type 2, vesicular estomatitis virus, and poliovirus type 2. The effects observed involve a reduction in viral multiplication and even a virucidal action (Amoros and others 1992a).
It has also been claimed that various propolis fractions affect the replication of viruses such as vaccinia virus and the virus responsible forNewcastle disease (Maksimova and others 1985). Substances isolated from propolis have also been seen to have antiviral activity. For example, isopentyl ferulate inhibits the infectious activity of Hong Kong virus A (Serkedjieva and others 1992). In studies by Critchfield and others (1996), it was seen that characteristic honey flavonoids, like chrysin, acacetin, and apigenin, inhibit the activation of HIV-1 in latent models of infection through a mechanism that probably includes inhibition of viral transcription. Two of the flavonoids present in propolis (chrysin and campherol) have
also been studied and were seen to be very active in the inhibition of replications of several herpes viruses, adenovirus, and rotavirus (Cheng and Wong 1996), while other flavonoids, which are responsible
for antioxidant activity (galangin and acacentin) had no effect on these viruses (Debiaggi and others 1990; Amoros and others 1992b). However, other studies have pointed to the antiviral effect of galangin on herpes simple virus (HSV) and Coxsackie b virus (Meyer and others 1997). Flavonoids such as quercetin and rutin, which are found in both honey and propolis (Yao and others 2004; Orsolic and Basic 2005), show antiviral activity against HSV, syncytial virus, poliovirus, and Sindbis virus (Selway 1986;Middleton and Chithan 1993). The action mechanisms proposed for these compounds are related with the inhibition of viral polymerase and the binding of viral nucleic acid or viral capsid proteins (Selway 1986). Up to now,we have referred to the separate actions of the phenolic compounds present in honey or propolis and howthe flavonoids show antiviral activity. However, the individual components may also act synergistically. Indeed, some studies have pointed to such synergism. For example, Amor´os and others (1992b) and Cushine and Lamb (2005) mention the synergistic effect of apigenin and campherol on SV, which would explain why honey and propolis present greater antiviral activity than their individual components.
