Mutanolysin
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Mutanolysin is a bacteriolytic agent. Mutanolysin is a muralytic enzyme that can prevent hepatic injury. Mutanolysin can digest the cell wall of S. mutans BHT and shows antibacterial activity. Mutanolysin reduces TNF-α production in isolated Kupffer cells stimulated with peptidoglycan-polysaccharide (PG-APS). Mutanolysin can be used for the researches of infection, inflammation and hepatic injury.

Biological Activity
Mutanolysin (200 μg; 36 h) digests PG-APS to reduce TNFα production by purified Lewis rat Kupffer cells by 75%, from 486 pg/mL to 145 pg/mL[1].
Mutanolysin (20 μg/mL, 90 min) lyses and kills live S. mutans AHT and BHT cells after 90 min of incubation, with 99.999% killing efficacy against S. mutans AHT and 99.0% killing efficacy against S. mutans BHT[2].
Mutanolysin exhibits broad lytic activity against gram-positive oral pathogens including S. mutans, A. viscosus, and L. acidophilus, but is inactive against S. aureus, gram-negative bacteria, and yeast[2].
Mutanolysin lyses S. mutans BHT cells by rupturing cell walls[2].

Mutanolysin (0.4 mg; i.v.; single dose) completely prevents the development of chronic erosive arthritis, resolves acute arthritis within 14 days, and eliminates granulomatous lesions in visceral tissues[3].
Mutanolysin (0.4 mg; i.v.; single dose; administered 24 h or 3 days post-PG-APS) reduces acute arthritis severity and completely prevents the development of chronic erosive arthritis[3].
Mutanolysin (0.4 mg; i.v.; single dose; administered 14 days post-PG-APS) significantly reduces the severity of chronic joint disease, with only 33% of treated rats developing recurrent disease[3].

Animal Model:Lewis rats (female, 100-120 g at time of PG-APS injection, arthritis model via intraperitoneal injection of arthropathic PG-APS)[3]
-
Dosage:0.4 mg
-
Administration:i.v.; single dose
-
Result:Prevented development of chronic erosive arthritis.
Resolved mild acute arthritis within 14 days.
Eliminated granulomatous lesions in liver, spleen, and mediastinal lymph nodes.
Reduced transient limb edema, which peaked at 2-3 hours and subsided by 9 hours.
Showed normal-appearing joint tissue with intact cartilage, no exudate, and only mild residual focal synovial scarring and lining cell hyperplasia at 41 days post-injection.
Demonstrated no chronic erosive arthritis on radiographic assessment.
Maintained tissue PG-APS levels in hind limbs, spleen, liver, and blood equal to or exceeding PBS-treated controls at days 2, 5, and 36 post-injection.
