Streptokinase (peptidolytic), mixt. with streptococcal deoxyribonuclease

Description:

Streptokinase (peptidolytic), mixed with streptococcal deoxyribonuclease, is a biological enzyme complex derived from streptococci bacteria. It primarily functions as a thrombolytic agent, facilitating the breakdown of blood clots by converting plasminogen to plasmin, which subsequently degrades fibrin in clots. This property makes it valuable in medical applications, particularly in treating conditions like myocardial infarction and pulmonary embolism. The presence of streptococcal deoxyribonuclease adds an additional layer of functionality, as it can degrade DNA, which may be beneficial in managing infections or inflammatory responses. The enzyme complex is typically administered intravenously and is characterized by its specificity and efficacy in clot lysis. However, its use is accompanied by potential side effects, including allergic reactions and bleeding complications. As a biological product, its stability and activity can be influenced by factors such as temperature and pH, necessitating careful handling and storage. Overall, this enzyme combination represents a significant advancement in therapeutic interventions for thrombotic disorders.
