This book provides an in-depth exploration of the therapeutic potential of microbial enzymes, covering their roles in the treatment and management of diseases,enhancing drug development, and addressing regulatory aspects. It offers insights for researchers, professionals, students of microbiology, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical sciences.
This book comprehensively reviews the diverse potential of microbial enzymes with therapeutic applications, covering their production, purification, and utilization. It examines their roles in combating various diseases, including inflammation, bacterial infections, cardiovascular conditions, and thrombotic disorders. The book highlights their pharmaceutical applications in drug formulation and bioactive compound production, with the aim of enhancing drug bioavailability, stability, and efficacy. Furthermore, the book explores the potential of microbial fibrinolytic enzymes to revolutionize treatments for thrombotic disorders. It also outlines the applications of microbial enzymes in targeting cancer cells, emphasizing their pivotal role in innovative treatment modalities. Additionally, the book presents the therapeutic applications of microbial lipases, from their use in lipid-lowering medications to the creation of lipase-based pharmaceuticals.The chapters discuss the potential of microbial uricases in managing uric acid-related disorders and the contribution of microbial enzymes in enhancing digestion and alleviating digestive disorders. Finally, the book delves into the vital role of regulatory authorities and intellectual property rights (IPR) in the commercialization of therapeutic microbial enzymes. As such, this book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, professionals, and students of microbiology, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical sciences.Key features1) Reviews the therapeutic potential of microbial enzymes and their production and purification.2) Examines roles of microbial enzymes in combating a wide range of diseases, including inflammation, bacterial infections, cardiovascular conditions, and thrombotic disorders.3) Highlights the pharmaceutical applications of microbial enzymes, focusing on drug formulation and the production of bioactive compounds to enhance drug bioavailability, stability, and efficacy.4) Explores the therapeutic applications of microbial lipases, from lipid-lowering medications to the creation of lipase-based pharmaceuticals.5) Presents vital role of regulatory authorities and intellectual property rights (IPR) in the commercialization of therapeutic microbial enzymes.
