Introduction: propolis is a resinous composition produced by compounds and used in their hives against microorganisms. There are several types of this compound, the red one is the last specimen reported in the literature. Thus, among its applicability, the antifungal activity of red propolis has been explored as a path to expand its therapeutic action. Objective: to explore studies about the antifungal action of red propolis, identifying its potentialities and challenges. Methodology: Na integrative review was carried out in the bibliographic databases MEDLINE (via PubMed), SciELO and Google Scholar, complemented by a diligence in ReBEC and Clinical Trials databases. Then, all selected studies were explorers to obtain the current scenario on the subject. Results: 08 studies were included, which 01 of them was a clinical trial. Studies prove the antifungal action of red propolis, mainly against Candida spp. and Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, and show the greater fungicidal power of this compound compared to other types of propolis. Conclusion: the antifungal action of red propolis shows potential in several studies. However, the volume of scientific research on this theme is insufficient and the complexity of this compound represents a challenge to its applicability.
