Pharmaceutical substances manufacturing
Enzymatic processing of raw materials
Glycosaminoglycans and mucopolysaccharides
Glycosaminoglycans and mucopolysaccharides are widely available in animal tissue. Most often those are extracted from raw materials such as lungs, intestinal mucosa, trachea, cock’s combs, skins, etc.
Most often those are extracted from raw materials such as lungs, intestinal mucosa, trachea, cock’s combs, skins, etc.
Glycosaminoglycans and mucopolysaccharides are widely used in medicine, veterinary medicine, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
The most important and commercially successful product line is focused on pharmaceutical substances, such as heparin and hyaluronic acid ( which is also actively used in cosmetics).
Advantages of enzymatic processing
General principle of extraction:
The extraction process destroys the surrounding tissues and nucleoid proteins, which are covalently linked to the Glycosaminoglycans and Mucopolysaccharides. Those can be released by either alkaline or enzymatic hydrolysis. When using proteolytic enzymes, there is no need for traditional alkaline hydrolysis!
ADVANTAGES OF USING ENZYMATIC METHOD IN COMPARISON WITH ALKALINE:
- Increased yield and quality of products
- Reduced production costs, effluent volumes and solid waste
- Stable & flexible extraction process
General scheme for heparin extraction
Raw materials:
- Intestinal mucosa
- Lungs
- Trachea
- other
Pre-processing:
- Flushing with pre-press fluid
- pH regulation
Enzyme dosing and hydrolysis:
- Heating and holding at optimum temperature
- Monitoring of pH, Brix and degree of hydrolysis to the desired end point
- Heat inactivation of enzymes
Subsequent processes:
- Processing of the extract
into crude heparin
- Filtration
- Absorption by resin
- Sodium chloride rinsing
- Alcohol deposition
- Drying
