Preparo e caracterização de membranas de quitosana com incorporação de papaína

Abstract

The Search for Innovative materials That improve and accelerate the healing process has been the focus of research today. Among these have highlighted the Chitosan due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, low toxicity and Budget, in addition to being found in abundance in nature. And papain proteolytic enzyme Complex of plant origin with the Broad Therapeutic Application, especially in the approach of wounds, in function of his debridement power and throttle tissue growth. Study for Obtaining A membrane composed of chitosan and papain, as a potentiating effects have previously studied Each hum these biomaterials alone. Were prepared pure Chitosan Chitosan Membranes and papain 10%, 20% and 30% depending same Were characterized by methods: microstructural, thermogravimetric and spectroscopic. A membrane was obtained with good microstructural aspect and characterized quantitatively and qualitatively. With one IT Getting In this new material opens up the possibility of future use do EVEN in optimizing the wound healing process.
