    B.06.A.A.04   Chymotrypsin

    Pharmacodynamics:

    When administered intramuscularly, it exhibits an anti-inflammatory effect due to the cleavage of peptide bonds in the protein molecule, as well as the bonds formed by the residues of aromatic amino acids in the mediators of inflammation.

    When topically applied, lyses necrotic tissues, consisting of protein detritus, fibrinous formations, viscous secretions and exudates. Does not interact with viable cells, because they have specific anti- enzymes and non-specific inhibitors of proteolysis.

    Pharmacokinetics:

    Not described.
