Article Abstract
Propolis is a resinous substance gathered by honeybees () which biochemical composition depends on botanical sources. This review gives a no exhaustive list of different types of studied propolis around the world with its main constituents. Both several biological and/or therapeutic effects from propolis and/or its main constituents are reviewed. Finally, although the promising interest, a work is needed to establish the quality criteria of propolis.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are constituent molecules of the innate defense system and are naturally produced by all organisms. AMPs are characterized by a relatively low molecular weight (less than 10 kDa) and a variable number of cysteine residues that form disulfide bonds and contribute to the stabilization of the tertiary structure. In addition, there is a wide repertoire of antimicrobial agents against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa that can provide a large number of prototype peptides for study and biochemical manipulation.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Glycyrrhiza, a legume native to the Mediterranean region, has a long history of ethnomedicinal use in China. Due to its antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antitumor, anti-ulcer, and hepatoprotective properties, Glycyrrhiza is widely utilized in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders.
The Aim Of The Review: The specific mechanisms of the main active constituents of glycyrrhiza in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, precancerous lesions and colorectal cancer at all stages of the colitis-associated colon cancer "Inflammation-Dysplasia-Cancer" sequence, as well as its pharmacokinetics, toxicology, formulation improvements, and application studies, are reviewed to provide new insights and perspectives on glycyrrhiza as a dietary supplement to treat and prevent colitis-associated colon cancer.
