Serratiopeptidase (Brasan, Dasen) is an orally active zinc-containing metalloprotease belonging to the serralysin family. Serratiopeptidase reduces the release of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins, thromboxanes and interleukins by inhibiting COX, thereby relieving pain, swelling and redness. Serratiopeptidase exhibits antibiofilm, mucolytic and wound-healing activities. As a serine protease, Serratiopeptidase has the ability to dissolve blood clots, fibrin and atherosclerotic plaques. Serratiopeptidase degrades amyloid fibrils and has potential anti-Alzheimers effects. Serratiopeptidase shows cytotoxicity against colon cancer cells[1][2].
