Description

General description

Collagenase I is an enzyme that breaks down collagen, a primary structural protein in connective tissues. It is used in various medical and research applications, including tissue dissociation and wound debridement.​

The USP Collagenase I standard provides a benchmark for the activity and purity of collagenase I, ensuring its efficacy and safety in therapeutic and laboratory settings.

The USP biologics proteins category provides critical standards and reference materials necessary for the development and manufacturing of therapeutic proteins. These proteins, which can be naturally derived or genetically engineered, are essential in treating various diseases and conditions, ensuring that they meet quality, safety, and efficacy standards.

The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) provides quality standards for biologics to ensure their safety, efficacy, and quality throughout the manufacturing process. These standards assist manufacturers in adhering to regulatory requirements and help safeguard public health by reducing risks associated with biologics.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Collagenase is activated by four gram atom calcium per mole enzyme. It is inhibited by ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether) - N, N, N′,N′-tetraacetic acid, beta-mercaptoethanol, glutathione, thioglycolic acid and 8-hydroxyquinoline.

Unit Definition

One collagen digestion unit (CDU) liberates peptides from collagen from bovine achilles tendon equivalent in ninhydrin color to 1.0 μmole of leucine in 5 hours at pH 7.4 at 37 °C in the presence of calcium ions. One FALGPA hydrolysis unit hydrolyzes 1.0 μmole of furylacryloyl-Leu-Gly-Pro-Ala per min at 25°C. One Neutral Protease unit hydrolyzes casein to produce color equivalent to 1.0 μmole of tyrosine per 5 hr at pH 7.5 at 37°C. One Clostripain Unit hydrolyzes 1.0 μmole of BAEE per min at pH 7.6 at 25°C in the presence of DTT.
