Abstract

Since ancient times the therapeutic use of plant peptidases has been recognized. The combat of a diversity of diseases involves the proteolytic activity for degradation of related peptides and proteins such as signaling molecules of inflammatory, allergic and oncologic processes, bacterium membranes, virus capsids, and collagen in fibrosis, necrotic tissues and others. Bromelain, papain, and ficin are the plant peptidases of the largest use in medicine. In the first half of 20th century, the use plant peptidases in pharmacy and medicine had increased.
