| In Vitro | Thermolysin (100 μg in 1 mL, 64°C for 4 h, in isolated starch granules) digestion results in the selective removal of a group of low-molecular-mass proteins ranging between 10 and 27 kD[2]. Thermolysin can be used for the hydrolysis of bovine liver sarcoplasmic proteins[3]. |
| In Vivo | Thermolysin (50 mg/kg, p.o., once) lowers systolic blood pressure in SHR rats[4]. Thermolysin is not acutely toxic with an oral LD50 of more than 18000 mg/kg in rats and more than 24000 mg/kg in mice (Acute toxicity studies)[5]. Animal Model: Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) rats[4] Dosage: 50 mg/kg Administration: Oral administration (p.o.), once Result: Lowered systolic blood pressure in SHR rats, with maximal reduction by 22 mm in systolic blood pressure being observed 6 h after administration. |
