Anti-inflammatory activity of Bromelia hieronymi: comparison with bromelain.

Only registered users can translate articles

Some plant proteases (e. g., papain, bromelain, ficin) have been used as anti-inflammatory agents for some years, and especially bromelain is still being used as alternative and/or complementary therapy to glucocorticoids, nonsteroidal antirheumatics, and immunomodulators. Bromelain is an extract

Naturally occurring inhibitors of intracellular proteinases.

Only registered users can translate articles

The papain inhibitor isolated from chicken egg white inhibits the enzymatic activity of cathepsin B1 and cathepsin C. The inhibitor bears two nonoverlapping reactive sites: one binds cathepsin B1, papain, ficin, and bromelain, the other one cathepsin C. The inhibitor decreases the degree of an

Selective necrosis of cardiac and skeletal muscle induced experimentally by means of proteolytic enzyme solutions given intravenously.

Only registered users can translate articles

Focal necrosis of cardiac and skeletal muscle was produced regularly in rabbits by means of a single intravenous or intra-arterial injection of a solution of crude papain. Similar lesions were produced in rats and mice injected with this material. The intravenous injection of solutions of ficin,

Plant proteolytic enzyme papain abrogates angiogenic activation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) in vitro.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a key regulator of physiologic and pathogenic angiogenesis in diseases such as cancer and diabetic retinopathy. It is known that cysteine proteases from plants, like bromelain and papain are capable to suppress inflammatory activation. Recent
