| Brazilian Green Propolis often considered best • Derived from Baccharis dracunulifolia, this type is rich in artepillin C. • It has been widely researched for its anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. -Propolis common researched flavonoids :chrysin, pinocembrin, galangin, pinobanksin(Pinocembrin) -most representative phenolic acids were caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, and ferulic acid, as well as their derivatives, DMCA and caffeic acid prenyl, benzyl, phenylethyl (CAPE), and cinnamyl esters -One of the most studied active compounds of a poplar-type propolis is caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) -caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), galangin, chrysin, nemorosone, propolin G, artepillin C, cardanol, pinocembrin, pinobanksin, chicoric acid, and phenolic acids (caffeic acid, ferulic acid, and coumaric acid), as well as luteolin, apigenin, myricetin, naringenin, kaempferol, quercetin, polysaccharides, tannins, terpenes, sterols, and aldehydes -content highly variable based on location and extraction Two main factors of interest: 1. affects interstitual fluild pH 2. high concentration raises ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species), while low concentration may reduce ROS - Artepillin-C (major phenolic compounds found in Brazilian green propolis (BGP)) - caffeic acid major source Propolis is chemically diverse (300+ compounds reported) and composition depends on botanical/geographic source. Antibacterial activity is documented in classic literature (often stronger against Gram+). CAPE from propolis has reported preferential tumor cytotoxicity in early landmark work (often cited in antimicrobial paper references) Do not combine with 2DG Pathways: -Propolis compounds (e.g., artepillin C, caffeic acid phenethyl ester [CAPE]) can trigger apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancer cells. -Propolis has been shown to inhibit NF‑κB activation. -Propolis extracts can cause cell cycle arrest at specific checkpoints (e.g., G0/G1 or G2/M phases). -Enhance the body’s antitumor immune responses, for example by activating natural killer (NK) cells and modulating cytokine profiles. -Note half-life no standard, high variablity of content. BioAv poor water solubility, and low oral bioavailability. Pathways: - high concentration may induce ROS production, while low concentrations mya low it. This may apply to both normal and cancer cells. Normal Cells Example.

| Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Kinase 3 (PDK3) – PDK3 is one of the four isoenzymes of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK1–4) that phosphorylate and inactivate the pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex. – By inhibiting PDH, PDK3 reduces the conversion of pyruvate into acetyl-CoA, thereby diverting pyruvate from entry into the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. – This shift promotes glycolytic metabolism (even under aerobic conditions), a hallmark of the Warburg effect observed in many cancers. – PDK3 is typically upregulated in response to hypoxia or metabolic stress, conditions commonly encountered in the tumor microenvironment. – Its expression can be regulated by hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) and other metabolic regulators, contributing to the adaptive metabolic reprogramming of cancer cells. – Upregulated Expression: Elevated levels of PDK3 have been observed in several cancer types, including lung, colon, and breast cancers. – Metabolic Reprogramming: Overexpression of PDK3 supports the preferential use of glycolysis over oxidative phosphorylation, allowing cancer cells to adapt to hypoxic conditions and rapid proliferation. |
