Ficain also known as ficin, debricin, or higueroxyl delabarre (EC 3.4.22.3) is a proteolytic enzyme extracted from the latex sap from the stems, leaves, and unripe fruit of the American wild fig tree Ficus insipida.

2024年9月11日 · Typically, when blood bankers talk about the “enzyme effect,” we are referring to the effect that proteolytic enzymes (enzymes that help break down proteins) such as ficin and papain have on the expression of blood group antigens on the surface of red blood cells.

Crude ficin is a latex from the trunk of a tropical fig tree. Purified ficin is an enzyme from the latex. Crude and purified ficin are used as medicine.

2020年11月1日 · In this sense, ficin is an enzyme extract composed by several proteases that is attained from the latex of the fig (Ficus carica). The exact relation of the different active components of ficin extract may change by the health of the tree, the ambient conditions, watering, etc. [18, 19].

Ficain, also called ficin, is an enzyme obtained from figs latex (Ficus sp.). It is a member of the proteases family, also found in papaya latex that acts as an enzyme inhibitor in several fruit juices.

2023年2月21日 · Ficin is a cysteine endopeptidase enzyme with a highly efficient capacity to break protein. It was able to cleave protein at the glycosylic side of Gly, Ser, Thri, Met, Lys, Arg, Tyr, Ala, Asn, and Val.

This study reports the results of a newly developed method that employs fruit enzymes oral supplementation to treat eye floaters. The mixed fruit enzymes, including bromelain, papain, and ficin, were effective in reducing vitreous opacities, even after intraocular hemorrhage.
