Bromelain

Bromelain is an anti-inflammatory drug derived from pineapple stem that acts through down-regulation of plasma kininogen, inhibition of Prostaglandin E2 expression, degradation of advanced glycation end product receptors and regulation of angiogenic biomarkers as well as antioxidant action upstream in the COX-pathway. Bromelain exhibits various fibrinolytic, antiedematous, antithrombotic, and anti-inflammatory activities. Bromelain also possesses some anticancerous activities and promotes apoptotic cell death.

How to use

In Vivo:

Bromelain (40 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; daily; for 7 days; male Sprague-Dawley rats) pretreatment reduces the motor dysfunction in the parkinsonian rat model of parkinson's disease (PD). 6-OHDA injection resulted in marked motor impairment which is prevented by pretreatment with Bromelain prior to the lesion.
