Abstract in brief

  • Bromelain is a mixture of proteinases derived from pineapple stems, exhibiting anti-inflammatory, anti-edematous, antithrombotic, and fibrinolytic effects, with some biochemical components only partly characterized.
  • Due to its safety, effectiveness after oral intake, and lack of significant side effects, bromelain is increasingly used as a phytotherapeutic agent for various conditions, including thrombosis, inflammation, and enhanced drug absorption, especially in cancer therapy.
  • Recent studies suggest bromelain's potential in cancer treatment by modulating immune responses, inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis independently of its proteolytic activity, and promoting wound healing, though broader clinical acceptance remains to be fully established.
