The impact of thyme and camomile flower extracts on trypsin catalytic activity

The development of pathological processes in humans and animals is accompanied by an imbalance of regulatory mechanisms, in particular, proteinase enzymes and their regulators. Endogenous regulators, inhibitors and activators often fail to maintain the balance in the system “enzyme-substrate-inhibitor (activator)", which leads to destructive inflammatory, immune reactions, and dyscrasia. Therefore, the search for unknown proteinase regulators is an important step towards the creation of new drugs to treat the diseases associated with changes in proteolysis processes. In this regard, we propose a hypothesis about the regulatory role of medicinal herbs that are widely used in both traditional and folk medicine. According to our assumption, the chemical compounds contained in medicinal herbs can both activate and inhibit proteolysis in cells. The aim of the research was to study the effects of the inflammatory process, the influence of the regulatory activity of aqueous thyme and chamomile extracts on the trypsin activity in the model experiments...
