Abstract: Geopropolis has a wealth of biological activities with complex composition.However,the studies on geopropolis both home and abroad are much less than other propolis thus far.In this paper,we listed 35 flavonoids,13 phenolic acids,53 terpenes and other compounds which have been currently identified in geopropolis,as well as its biological activities of antiinflammation,antioxidation,anticancer,antibacterial,etc.By summarizing the main chemical compositions and the bioactivities,we aimed to provide insights for further studies on chemical standardization and quality control of geopropolisas well as its pharmacological values in practice.

Key words: geopropolis, chemical composition, biological activity
