Few studies were performed on the volatile components' properties of propolis from native Brazilian stingless bees. This work sought to extract, chemically characterize, and evaluate of the antimicrobial properties of volatile oils from propolis of the stingless bees Melipona quadrifasciata quadrifasciata (MQ) and Tetragonisca angustula (TA). The volatile oils from the pulverized propolis samples were obtained in a Clevenger apparatus and characterized by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and to flame ionization detector (GC-FID). All samples showed promising activity against Mycoplasma pneumoniae, with MICs from 103 to 224 μg mL , nonetheless, they were less active against cell walled bacteria. Activity against Candida species was moderate, but one MQ sample showed a MIC value of 103 μg mL against C. tropicallis. Oils' fractionation showed no improvement in antibacterial activity. The promising antibacterial effect against this microorganism is likely related to the synergism between the components of the volatile oils.
关于巴西本土无刺蜜蜂蜂胶挥发性成分特性的研究较少。本研究旨在提取、化学表征并评估无刺蜜蜂(Melipona quadrifasciata quadrifasciata(MQ)和 Tetragonisca angustula(TA))蜂胶的挥发性油的抗菌特性。将粉碎的蜂胶样品在克利夫兰挥发油提取器中提取,并用气相色谱-质谱联用仪(GC/MS)和火焰离子化检测器(GC-FID)进行表征。所有样品对肺炎支原体均表现出良好的活性,MIC 值为 103-224μg/mL,但对细胞壁细菌的活性较低。对念珠菌属的活性为中等,但有一个 MQ 样品对 C. tropicallis 的 MIC 值为 103μg/mL。油的分级并没有提高抗菌活性。对这种微生物具有良好的抗菌作用可能与挥发性油成分之间的协同作用有关。
