Chymoral Forte Tablets – Detailed Description

Chymotrypsin is a proteolytic enzyme. Chymotrypsin is secreted by the pancreas as the inactive proenzyme chymotrypsinogen. Chymotrypsin is a serine endopeptidase that preferentially cleaves peptide bonds on the carboxyl side of amino acids with bulky hydrophobic residues, particularly tyrosine, tryptophan, phenylalanine and leucine. Chymotrypsin is effective in reducing soft tissue inflammation especially associated with trauma.

Trypsin is a serine endopeptidase that catalyzes the cleavage of peptide bonds on the carboxyl side of either arginine or lysine. Trypsin (Protease) is secreted by the pancreas as the pro-enzyme and converted to the active form in small intestine, catalyzes different enzymes important for the process of protein digestion. Clinically, Trypsin (Protease) is effective to treat symptoms of pancreatitis or other various digestive disorders
