Product Description
Bromelain is an anti-inflammatory agent derived from pineapple stems, which works by downregulating plasma kininogen, inhibiting prostaglandin E2 expression, degrading advanced glycation end product receptors, modulating angiogenic biomarkers, and inducing resistance upstream of the COX pathway. function due to oxidation. Bromelain has multiple fibrinolytic, antiedematous, antithrombotic and anti-inflammatory activities. Bromelain also has some anti-cancer activity and promotes apoptotic cell death.
Bromelain is a mixture of proteolytic enzymes derived from the stem and fruit of pineapple (Ananas comosus). It is a cysteine endopeptidase with broad substrate specificity. Bromelain has anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, and fibrinolytic activities. It is used in research on inflammation, wound healing, and digestion. Bromelain is also used as a dietary supplement and in food processing.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Bromelain targets proteins, hydrolyzing peptide bonds through its proteolytic activity. It has anti-inflammatory effects by modulating the production of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins and cytokines. Bromelain also has antithrombotic and fibrinolytic activities by degrading fibrin and other coagulation factors.
ln Vitro
Bromelain demonstrates in vitro proteolytic activity, hydrolyzing various protein substrates. It exhibits anti-inflammatory activity by modulating cytokine production and reducing inflammation in cell-based assays. The compound's activity is assessed by measuring its proteolytic activity using protein substrates or by measuring its effects on inflammatory markers.
ln Vivo
In a rat model of Parkinson's disease (PD), pretreatment with bromelain (40 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; daily; for 7 days; male Sprague-Dawley rats) decreases motor dysfunction. Significant motor damage is caused by 6-OHDA injections, however this can be avoided by administering bromelain prior to injury [1].
In vivo activity of bromelain has been demonstrated in animal models, where it exhibits anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, and fibrinolytic effects. It is used in research on wound healing, inflammation, and cardiovascular diseases. Bromelain has also been studied for its potential benefits in digestion and as a dietary supplement.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays for bromelain involve measuring its proteolytic activity using protein substrates such as casein, gelatin, or synthetic peptide substrates. Enzyme activity is measured by detecting the release of hydrolysis products using spectrophotometric or fluorometric methods.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for bromelain involve treating cells with the enzyme and measuring its effects on inflammatory mediators, cell migration, or protein degradation. Anti-inflammatory activity is assessed by measuring cytokine production. Wound healing effects can be assessed by measuring cell migration in scratch wound assays.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Male SD (Sprague-Dawley) rats injected with 6-OHDA[1]
Doses: 40 mg/kg
Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip)injection; daily; for 7 days
Experimental Results: diminished the motor dysfunction in the parkinsonian rat model of parkinson's disease (PD).
In vivo animal experiments for bromelain involve administering the enzyme to animal models of inflammation, thrombosis, or wound healing. Efficacy is evaluated by measuring inflammatory markers, thrombus formation, or wound closure rates. The enzyme's fibrinolytic activity can be assessed by measuring fibrin degradation products.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data for bromelain indicate that it is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and can be detected in the circulation. The enzyme's proteolytic activity is stable in the acidic environment of the stomach. Its distribution, metabolism, and excretion properties have been partially characterized.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for bromelain indicate that it is generally safe when used at recommended doses. Allergic reactions may occur in sensitive individuals. The compound is intended for research and dietary supplement use. Standard safety precautions should be followed when handling this compound.

  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
