Abstract

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: For centuries, propolis has been one of the most important and popular antimicrobial (antibacterial and antifungal) agents used in traditional medicine worldwide, including Central and Eastern Europe. Despite centuries of use of this product, the molecular mechanisms of its activity remain not fully recognized, and the components that determine its biological activity have not been identified.
