Ananas comosus(L.) Merr.

Stem bromelain (EC 3.4.22.32) is a cysteine protease and antibacterial agent. Stem bromelain can be isolated from the stem of the pineapple (Ananas comosus). Stem bromelain induces dose-dependent secretion of IL-12p70, and IL-6, induces Apoptosis, causes cleavage of full-length PARP protein, Caspase 3, and Caspase 9, increases Bax, and decreases Bcl-2. Stem bromelain possesses various fibrinolytic, antiedema, antithrombotic, and anti-inflammatory activities. Stem bromelain also exhibits in vivo antitumor and antileukemic activities, as well as antimetastatic effects. Stem bromelain has antimycobacterial activity. Stem bromelain provides protection against lead poisoning.
