A comparative study was performed of the caseinolytic, necrolytic and fibrinolytic activities of a crab collagenase product prepared from the hepatopancreas of the king crab (Paralithodes camtschatica) and four enzyme preparations (trypsin/chymotrypsin and protease complexes isolated from Aspergillus terricola, Carica papaya and pseudomonodaceae). This paper reports an in vitro investigation, an in vivo study with rats and a clinical evaluation. It was found that crab collagenase has the highest proteolytic activity measured with respect to fibrin clot and necrotic eschar in vitro although its caseinolytic activity is the lowest. A clinical trial involving 21 patients with leg ulcers confirmed the clinical efficiency of crab collagenase compared with trypsin/ chymotrypsin. The results suggest that crab collagenase is useful in wound debridement.

The effect of Kamchatka crab hepatopancreas containing three collagenolytic isoenzymes Collagenase KK and proteinases of Streptomyces lavendulae on metabolic activity and cell death were carried out on in vitro models. It was shown that changes in the protein structure under the influence of Collagenase KK occurred earlier than under the effect of bacterial proteinases. At the same time, activity of Collagenase KK was significantly higher than that of bacterial proteinases (p<0.

The digestive gland of craboids (hepatopancreas) is rich in a huge number of various enzymes (collagenases, nucleases, hyaluronidases, proteases), which are well studied at the moment. However, little is known about crustacean lipases. In this work, using H NMR spectroscopy, it was found that the hepatopancreas homogenate of the red king crab demonstrates high lipolytic activity against triacetin in a wide pH range and shows moderate activity against the caprylic/capric triglyceride emulsion.

Nowadays, enzymatic therapy is a very promising line of treatment for many different diseases. There is a group of disorders and conditions, caused by fibrotic and scar processes and associated with the excessive accumulation of collagen that needs to be catabolized to normalize the connective tissue content. The human body normally synthesizes special extracellular enzymes, matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) by itself.

Occupational skin symptoms are prevalent among the workers of the seafood processing industry. In this study we investigate the role of salmon (Salmo salar) and king crab trypsin (Paralithodes camtschaticus) as inducers of inflammation in skin via secretion of inflammatory mediators. Human skin keratinocytes (HaCaT cells) were exposed to purified salmon and king crab trypsin.
