Abstract
Brazil is one of the largest propolis producers in the world. Propolis is produced by bees from plant exudates and tissues, leading to many variations in the types of propolis. Generally, Brazilian propolis types are green, brown, and red. Despite not being the main research focus as the green and red propolis, brown propolis is the second most produced propolis type in Brazil and has tremendous economic and medicinal importance. Propolis has drawn attention with the rise in the search for healthier lifestyles, functional foods, biocosmetics, and natural products as therapeutic sources. This review covers the main chemical constituents identified in different types of Brazilian brown propolis, and their botanical sources, chemistry, and biological activities. The economic aspect of brown propolis is also presented. There are many gaps to be filled for brown propolis regarding the development of analytical methods, and quality control to allow its standardization, limiting its applicability in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Future perspectives regarding brown propolis research were discussed, especially biological activities, to support the medicinal uses of different types of brown propolis.

期刊介绍：
The Brazilian Journal of Pharmacognosy is a scientific journal edited and published by the Brazilian Society of Pharmacognosy, an association that brings together researchers, students and professionals who study and investigate the physical, chemical and biological drugs, especially those of vegetable origin, substances isolated and such as the potential source of drugs of natural origin. It is available in printed form for its members and subscribers and openly on the Internet in all your numbers and content. The articles published are original research contributions. To evaluate the work use is made of international standards and is held by the ad hoc advisers, which reflects the quality and credibility of the journal. The BJP is published since 1986.
