ABSTRACT

Propolis is a resin collected by the bees Apis mellifera L., which contains several substances including the flavonoids. Due to a diversified chemical composition propolis presents some pharmacological actions, being distinguished the anti-inflammatory, healing, antitumoral and antimicrobial properties and, in particular, its antifungal action. This action has been tested against yeasts obtained from onychomycosis, which are infections of difficult and long treatment and they can manifest intolerable effects on the patient. The propolis appears as an efficient therapy option, as it has low toxicity and should be of dermal use. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the optimization of the propolis extractive process through physiochemical parameters and antifungal activity demonstration.
