The present invention claims a novel process for the production and purification of microbial collagenase (Microbial Collagenase EC 3.4.24.3) produced by the non-pathogenic aerobic bacterium Vibrio alginolyticus chemovar. iophagus (NCIMB Number: 11038, synonym LMG 3418, hereinafter called Vibrio alginolyticus), which said process provides high production levels of collagenase with a stable, reproducible, cheap fermentation process. The collagenase produced from Vibrio alginolyticus according to the process described herein also presents a specific activity superior to that of other microbial collagenases, is stable in aqueous solution, and can be frozen without significant damage. A further subject of the present invention is pharmaceutical compositions containing collagenase obtained according to the production and purification process described, for the purpose of therapeutic treatment of disorders characterised by collagen accumulation or for the treatment of blemishes/imperfections that benefit from reducing local collagen accumulations.
本发明要求一种生产和纯化微生物胶原酶(微生物胶原酶 EC 3.4.24.3)的新工艺,该工艺由非致病性需氧细菌藻溶弧菌(Vibrio alginolyticus chemovar. iophagus)(NCIMB 编号:11038,同义词 LMG 3418,以下称藻溶弧菌)产生,所述工艺以稳定、可重复、廉价的发酵过程提供高水平的胶原酶生产。根据本发明所述工艺从藻类溶解弧菌中生产的胶原酶还具有优于其他微生物胶原酶的特异活性,在水溶液中稳定,可冷冻而无明显损伤。本发明的另一个主题是含有根据所述生产和纯化工艺获得的胶原蛋白酶的药物组合物,用于治疗以胶原蛋白蓄积为特征的疾病,或用于治疗因减少局部胶原蛋白蓄积而获益的色斑/瑕疵。
