A Brief Review on Lysozyme’s Pharmacology and Drug-Carrying Capacity

Abstract

In recent years, the repurposing of drugs has been one of the exciting work areas for pharmaceutical scientists worldwide. We have prepared a review on Lysozyme, which will help scientists in this area review its properties. Lysozyme is an endogenous enzymatic peptide present in almost every living thing. It has wide therapeutic uses, including antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory effects. It is showing prominent uses in various diseases, alone or along with other drugs. It is also used as a drug carrier for kidney targeting. It is categorized as generally referred to as safe by USFDA and EC. It is available on the market as oral formulations. Its traditional production by chicken egg is now a day swapped by recombinant production technologies, including transgenic animals. It has a great potential to be studied for various other activities. This review will help the researchers in selecting the medicament for further scientific evaluations.
