Disclosed herein is a composition comprising a biofilm degrading protease, a disulphide bond breaking agent and an antibiotic, as well as a method for debriding biofilm (e.g. on an implant) in a patient's body. The method comprises contacting the biofilm with a combination of a biofilm degrading protease and disulphide bond breaking agent.

This invention disclosed herein relates generally to compositions comprising the cysteine protease ananain, a reducing agent and a buffer. Also disclosed generally herein are methods of stabilizing the cysteine protease, ananain while retaining protease activity, as well as methods of activating ananain zymogen for proteolysis.

The present invention relates to debriding compositions in the form of an aqueous gel. Particularly, the present invention relates to a debriding composition comprising a proteolytic enzyme mixture obtained from bromelain present in a dry form, and an aqueous gel carrier, wherein, prior to use, the proteolytic enzyme mixture being admixed with the aqueous gel carrier to form a debriding composition useful for debridement and treatment of c wounds.

The present invention relates to a new whey protein hydrolysate having reduced allergenicity and retained immunogenicity. The new whey protein hydrolysate is also characterized by having a low amount of larger peptides. The invention furthermore relates to a method of preparing the new whey protein hydrolysates, uses of the new whey protein hydrolysates and food products comprising this new whey protein hydrolysate.

The present invention provides methods of treating cutaneous manifestations of psoriasis comprising topically applying to an affected skin area of a subject a pharmaceutical composition comprising a partially purified proteolytic enzyme mixture obtained from crude bromelain and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, thereby treating the cutaneous manifestations of psoriasis.

The present invention addresses the problem of indicating active-ingredient classes which can treat virus diseases caused by coronaviruses in a human or animal. Said treatment includes the acute treatment of an already existing virus disease and the prophylaxis of same. The present invention relates to a bromelain protease, bromelain, jacalin-like lectin, extract from the stem and/or the fruit of a pineapple plant, combination preparation, bromelain protease inhibitor, protein/protease mix, and glycated bromelain protein formed by exogenous non-enzymatic glycation, for use in the treatment or prophylaxis of virus infections caused by coronaviruses in a human or animal.

The present invention relates to a proteolytic extract obtained from bromelain for the treatment of connective tissue diseases. In particular, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a proteolytic extract obtained from bromelain for the treatment of diseases such as Dupuytren's disease and Peyronie's disease.

Methods for wound debridement and specifically methods of debridement of chronic wounds. These methods provide topically applying to a wound site a debriding formulation in the form of a hydrogel that includes a proteolytic enzyme mixture obtained from bromelain and a water-soluble gelling agent, with the debriding formulation being applied to the wound site up to ten times over a period of up to four weeks, thereby achieving debridement of chronic wounds.

The present invention relates to debriding compositions in the form of an aqueous gel. Particularly, the present invention relates to a debriding composition comprising a proteolytic enzyme mixture obtained from bromelain present in a dry form, and an aqueous gel carrier, wherein, prior to use, the proteolytic enzyme mixture being admixed with the aqueous gel carrier to form a debriding composition useful for debridement and treatment of c wounds.

The present disclosure relates to a method of producing collagen from an animal and more particularly, the present invention relates to a method for producing collagen by applying an acid and metal fluoride combination to an animal skin.
