Ficin, harvested from Ficus insipida trees, exists in crude and purified forms. The crude latex, combined with acetic acid and sodium benzoate, is used as a preservative to prevent coagulation. Purified ficin, an enzyme preparation containing proteases and other enzymes, demonstrates nonspecific sulfhydryl proteinase activity, hydrolyzing proteins, amides, esters, and small peptides. Research suggests that ficin exhibits anti-inflammatory properties and may disrupt the biofilm backbone of certain bacteria, enhancing antibiotic effectiveness. Additionally, ficin shows promise in combating helminthiasis.
