A variety of
in vitro pharmacology and effects in
animal models have been reported for CAPE, but their clinical significance is unknown. It has
antimitogenic, anticarcinogenic,
anti-inflammatory, and
immunomodulatory properties
in vitro. Another study also showed that CAPE suppresses
acute immune and
inflammatory responses
in vitro. This anti-cancer effect was also seen when mice skin was treated with bee propolis and exposed to
TPA, a chemical that induced skin
papillomas. CAPE significantly reduced the number of papillomas. Recent study suggest that CAPE can also help in reducing oxidative stress caused by traumatic brain injury. == References ==
