| chemical constituents and free radical scavenging activity of corn pollen collected from apis mellifera hives compared to floral corn pollen at nan, thailand. | bee pollen is composed of floral pollen mixed with nectar and bee secretion that is collected by foraging honey (apis sp.) and stingless bees. it is rich in nutrients, such as sugars, proteins, lipids, vitamins and flavonoids, and has been ascribed antiproliferative, anti-allergenic, anti-angiogenic and free radical scavenging activities. this research aimed at a preliminary investigation of the chemical constituents and free radical scavenging activity in a. mellifera bee pollen. | 2012 | 22513008 |
| in vitro antiproliferative/cytotoxic activity on cancer cell lines of a cardanol and a cardol enriched from thai apis mellifera propolis. | propolis is a complex resinous honeybee product. it is reported to display diverse bioactivities, such as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor properties, which are mainly due to phenolic compounds, and especially flavonoids. the diversity of bioactive compounds depends on the geography and climate, since these factors affect the floral diversity. here, apis mellifera propolis from nan province, thailand, was evaluated for potential anti-cancer activity. | 2012 | 22458642 |
