Enzibit Forte
Enzibit Forte Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
Enzibit Forte (EC 3.4.21.1) is a digestive enzyme that promotes proteolysis, or the breakdown of proteins and polypeptides. It is a serine protease synthesized in the pancreas and is a vital component in the pancreatic juice. Like most proteolytic enzymes, chymotrypsin is activated from its inactive zymogen precursor, chymotrypsinogen, in presence of Trypsin. Enzibit Forte is the most abundant pancreatic proteases that represent up to 10-20% of the total protein synthesized by the exocrine pancreas . Enzibit Forte contains both the catalytic triad and oxyanion hole, and the tertiary structure of chymotrypsin is similar to Trypsin .
Enzibit Forte is a digestive enzyme synthesized in the pancreas that plays an essential role in proteolysis, or the breakdown of proteins and polypeptides. As a component in the pancreatic juice, chymotrypsin aids in the digestion of proteins in the duodenum by preferentially cleaving peptide amide bonds.

How Enzibit Forte works
Enzibit Forte is synthesized by pancreatic acinar cells as an inactive precursor, chymotrypsinogen, that is secreted to the duodenum and activated via trypsin-induced cleavage. It also induces its own activation by cleaving essential amino acid residues in the oxyanion hole to produce α-Enzibit Forte, which is a more stable form than π-Enzibit Forte. Residues His-57, Asp-102, and Ser-195 form the catalytic triad while residues 189–195, 214–220, and 225–228 form the primary substrate-binding pocket called S1 binding pocket . Residue 189 in the polar serine residue that lies at the bottom of the S1 binding pocket . Enzibit Forte favors aromatic residues like phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan but may hydrolyze other bonds in peptides at slower rates.

FAQ
What is Enzibit Forte used for?
People use Enzibit Forte to make medicine. People take Enzibit Forte by mouth or as a shot to reduce redness and swelling associated with pockets of infection (abscesses), ulcers, surgery, or traumatic injuries; and to help loosen phlegm in asthma, bronchitis, lung diseases, and sinus infections.
How safe is Enzibit Forte?
Enzibit Forte is safe when used in the eye by a healthcare professional. Enzibit Forte can cause side effects when used in the eye, including an increase in pressure in the eye and other eye conditions such as uveitis, paralysis of the iris, and keratitis.
How does Enzibit Forte work?
Enzibit Forte cleaves peptide bonds by attacking the unreactive carbonyl group with a powerful nucleophile, the serine 195 residue located in the active site of the enzyme, which briefly becomes covalently bonded to the substrate, forming an enzyme-substrate intermediate.
What are the common side effects of Enzibit Forte?
Common side effects of Enzibit Forte include are itching, shortness of breath, swelling of the lips or throat, shock, loss of consciousness, and death.
Is Enzibit Forte safe during pregnancy?
Not enough is known about the use of Enzibit Forte during pregnancy. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.
Is Enzibit Forte safe during breastfeeding?

Can I drink alcohol with Enzibit Forte?
Interaction with alcohol is unknown. It is advisable to consult your doctor before consumption.
Who should not take Enzibit Forte?
Avoid Enzibit Forte if you have any allergies to it. Seek immediate medical attention if you notice any symptoms such as a skin rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, breathing difficulty, etc.
What happen If I missed Enzibit Forte?
If you forget to take a dose of Enzibit Forte, take it as soon as you remember. If you miss a scheduled dose, skip the missed dose. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one.
Can I overdose on Enzibit Forte?
You should not take more than the prescribed dose. Seek emergency medical attention or contact your doctor in case of an overdose with Enzibit Forte.

Some people may notice an improvement within three to seven days when taking Enzibit Forte.
Can I take Enzibit Forte for a long time?
Enzibit Forte is possibly safe for most people when mixed with trypsin and used short-term.
How much Enzibit Forte can I take daily?
Doses up to 800,000 units per day of this combination have been used safely for up to 10 days.
Is Enzibit Forte an inhibitor?
Many food plants contain one or more protease inhibitors (e.g. chymotrypsin or trypsin inhibitors) that competitively inhibit the activity of proteolytic enzymes.
