Three new polyprenylated benzophenone derivatives named burlemarxiones G-I (1-3) were isolated from C. burle-marxii trunks (compound 1) and leaves (compounds 2 and 3), along with the known compound burlemarxione F. Burlemarxione G (1) was isolated after methylation with diazomethane and it is the keto-enol tautomeric pair of burlemarxione F. Burlemarxione H (2) derives from burlemarxiones F and G, but it has additional rings due to cyclization of the prenyl group attached to C-5 that establishes new single bonds between C-1 and C-23, as well as, between C-24 and C-29. Burlemarxione I (3) has two additional cyclizations: the first encompasses the cyclization of the former isopentenyl group into an 11,11-dimethyl-six-membered ring, whereas the second produces additional rings due to the cyclization of the prenyl group attached to C-5 that establishes new single bonds between C-1 and C-23, as well as, between C-24 and C-29. All three compounds showed moderate anti-glioma activity. These results show that C. burle-marxii is an important source of sophisticated polyprenylated benzophenone derivatives.

Background/objectives: Brazilian red propolis has attracted attention for its pharmacological properties. However, signs of toxicity were recently observed in long-term studies using the hydroalcoholic extract of red propolis (RPHE), likely due to polyprenylated benzophenones. This study aimed to develop a benzophenone-free red propolis extract (BFRP) and validate an HPLC-PDA method to quantify its main constituents: isoliquiritigenin, vestitol, neovestitol, medicarpine, and 7--methylvestitol.

Background/aim: Low selectivity and high frequency of side-effects are the major problems of currently used chemotherapeutics. Among natural compounds, the polyprenylated acylphloroglucinol, guttiferone E, isolated from Brazilian red propolis, has attracted attention due to its marked anticancer properties and was evaluated here for its role against osimertinib-resistant H1975 cells (with double mutations of epidermal growth factor receptor: EGFR L858R/T790M).
Materials And Methods: Guttiferone E was obtained from red propolis using established extraction procedures.

Ovarian cancer is the second most common and lethal gynecologic malignancy. Among natural product-based therapy, the honeybee products, particularly propolis, serve a valuable source contributing directly to human nutrition and health.In the present study, we determined the chemical composition of different types of propolis originating from Egypt, Germany and France using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

The present work describes the extraction of a polyprenylated benzophenone-rich extract from Brazilian red propolis (ERPB), the development and validation of an RP-HPLC-UV method to characterize it, and its evaluation against breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231, as well as the normal counterpart MCF-10 A. A mixture of gutifferone E and xanthochymol (1+2), and isolated oblongifolin B (3) were used as chemical standards for ERPB and were also evaluated. The concentrations of 1+2 and 3 corresponded to 16.
