Abstract

Nanotechnology has the potential to offer elegant solutions to problems experienced in the medical field, such as poor drug delivery efficiency and microbial resistance. In this sense, it is interesting to associate nanomaterials with substances that also offer desirable properties to favor human health. Green propolis is an example of a material that contains some of these useful substances. The phenolic acids present in this type of propolis have already been proven to present, for example, antimicrobial, immunostimulant, and antioxidant activities. In this minireview, recent nano solutions, presented through manuscripts have been recently published based on green propolis, receive attention due to their useful properties in the medical field. Limitations to the clinical use of nanomaterials and the future prospects are also addressed.
