Possibilities of Using Proteolytic Enzymes Carica Papaya L in Medical Practice

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the proteolytic enzymes of the melon tree (Carica papaya L), grown in a solar greenhouse in Turkmenistan, to study the potential of these enzymes in medical practice.

Proteolytic enzymes of plant origin are contained in the milky juice of the melon tree (Carica papaya L.) These are papain, chymopapain A and B, peptidases A and B. Lekozyme , caripazim , lysozyme and many other drugs widely used in medical practice are produced from these proteolytic enzymes . We have experience in using proteolytic enzymes obtained from the milky juice of the melon tree in surgery (for purulent wounds, phlegmon and abscesses of the upper and lower extremities, purulent mastitis, trophic ulcers of the feet) and dentistry (for ulcerative gingivitis, periodontitis, etc.). Taking into account the encouraging results obtained, we plan to conduct research work on the treatment of urological diseases using various proteolytic enzymes obtained from the milky juice of the melon tree grown in local conditions of Turkmenistan

The obtained solution from papaya allows to reduce the treatment time of purulent infections of soft tissues and oral cavity, which in turn is important for timely prevention of occurrence of abscesses and other complications. Agricultural technology of cultivation possibilities and technology of obtaining proteolytic enzymes from leaves and fruits of melon tree in conditions of Turkmenistan have been developed. Microclimate based on renewable energy sources has been created for cultivation

Conclusion: The advantage of the claimed remedy compared to known ones is that the treatment uses the organic, natural composition of the plant’s substances, which has effective properties in the treatment of inflammatory diseases and wounds.
