BACKGROUND: Propolis, a natural product from beehives,
comprises a complex of chemicals, the most important
group being flavinoids, which play a role in antiviral
protection. OBJECTIVES: To test the inhibitory effect of propolis extract against herpes simplex viruses in vitro and
in vivo. METHODS: In vitro: propolis was added to
Vero cells at various times and concentrations before, at or after infection
with HSV-

A comparative multi-centre study of the efficacy of propolis,
acyclovir and placebo in the treatment of genital herpes (HSV).
Vynograd N, Vynograd I, Sosnowski Z.
Ninety men and women with recurrent genital HSV type 2 participated in a randomized,
single-blind, masked investigator, controlled multi-centre study comparing
the efficacy of ointment of Canadian propolis containing
natural flavonoids with ointments of acyclovir and
placebo (vehicle) on healing ability and capacity to remedy symptoms. Thirty
individuals were randomized to each group. Treatment was intended to start
in the blister phase. All participants had HSV type 2 isolated, confirmed
by serum immunoglobulin levels. The participants were examined on the 3rd,
7th and 10th days of treatment by gynaecologists, dermatovenerologists or urologists at seven different medical
centres. Apart from clinical symptoms the number and size of the herpetic
lesions were noted. At each examination the lesions were classified into four
stages: vesicular, ulcerated, crusted and healed. The study ointments were
applied to affected areas four times daily. In women with vaginal or cervical
lesions a tampon with the appropriate ointment was inserted four times daily
for 10 days. Endpoint variables were healing time and time until loss of symptoms.
RESULTS: On Day 10, 24 out of 30 individuals in the propolis group had healed. In the acyclovir group 14 out of
30 and in the placebo group 12 out of 30 had healed. (p = 0.0015). The healing
process appeared to be faster in the propolis group.
In the propolis group 15 individuals had crusted
lesions on Day 3 compared to 8 individuals in the acyclovir group and none
in the placebo group (p = 0.0006). On Day 7, 10 participants in the propolis group,

[The use of ocular
drug films of propolis in the sequelae
of ophthalmic herpes]
[Article in Russian]
Maichuk IuF, Orlovskaia LE, Andreev VP.
There was studied the therapeutic efficiency of ocular medical propolis films (OMF) in 35 patients with postherpetic trophic keratitis and in 20 with postherpetic
nebula. OMF were applied behind the lower eyelid at bedtime during 10-15 days.
All the patients endured the propolis films well.
OMF accelerated the cornea epithelization. Epitheliopathy and micropoint edema of cornea epithelium rapidly disappeared. Time of patients
recovery reduced nearly twice (P,001) in comparison
with the control group--from 14.1 to 7.6 days. On the average their visual
acuity increased in two times--from 0.12 to 0.27 (P > 0.001).

The in vitro activity against
herpes simplex virus type 1 of 3-methyl-but-2-enyl caffeate isolated from poplar buds or prepared by synthesis
was investigated. Under conditions of one or multiple multiplication cycles,
this compound, which is a minor constituent of propolis,
was found to reduce the viral titer by 3 log10,
and viral DNA synthesis by 32-fold.

Synergistic effect of flavones and flavonols against herpes simplex virus type

Universite de Rennes I, France.
The in vitro activity against
herpes simplex virus type 1 of the major flavonoids identified in propolis
was investigated. Flavonols were found to be more
active than flavones, the order of importance being galangin,
kaempferol, and quercetin.
The efficacy against HSV-1 of binary flavone-flavonol
combinations has been also investigated. The synergy demonstrated by all combinations
could explain why propolis is more active than its
individual compounds.

Effects of propolis flavonoids

The effect of five propolis flavonoids
on the infectivity and replication of some herpesvirus,
adenovirus, coronavirus and rotavirus strains has
been studied. Experiments were performed in vitro in cell cultures using the
viral plaque reduction technique. The cytotoxicity
of flavonoids, including chrysine,
kaempferol, acacetin,
galangin and quercetin, was evaluated
on uninfected monolayers to determine their effect
on cell growth and viability. Chrysine and kaempferol caused a concentration-dependent reduction of intracellular
replication of herpes-virus strains when monolayers
were infected and subsequently cultured in a drug-containing medium. However,
virus infectivity was not significantly affected. Acacetin
and galangin had no effect on either the infectivity
or replication of any of the viruses studied. Quercetin
reduced infectivity and intracellular replication, but only at the highest
concentrations tested.

Recent advances
in the chemotherapy of herpes virus infections.
Esanu V.
The main categories of antiherpes agents presently
used in chemotherapy area reviewed according to the phase of virus replication
affected : 1) virus adsorption (adamantane,
nonionic surfactants) ; 2) eclipse (interferon)
; 3) virion maturation (nucleoside and nucleotide analogues and
phosphonic acid derivatives). Mention is also made of other
compounds--different synthetic organic derivatives, photodynamic dyes, metal
ions, boric acid, hormones, antibiotics, other natural products (extracts
from marine algae, propolis, garlic)--with
promising antiviral properties. The difficulties and prospects of viral chemotherapy
research are briefly discussed.
