Nattokinase is a kind of alkaline serine prostease with strong fibrinolytic and thrombolytic activity, which is secreted by Bacillus natto and discovered by Sumi et al(1). As endogenous fibrinolytic enzyme, nattokinase is functionally similar to husman plasmin
Nattokinase was reported to lower blood pressure by inhibiting the secretion of angiotensin-converting enzyme I and angiotensin II, and interact with fibrinogen in plasma to reduce blood viscosity, thereby lowering blood pressure (2).
Studies showed that nattokinase attenuates neovascularization in the retinas of mice with oxygen retinopathy (5), thus it can be useful in the treat ment of such diseases as retinopathy of prematurity, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal vein occlusion. Additionally it can be used as a as a vitreous cleavage supplement in the treatment of proliferative vitreoretinal diseases. According to recent studies Nattokinase has various pharmacological effects, such as improving microcirculation and lowering blood pressure (2), anticoagulation (3), preventing atherosclerosis (4), relieving retinal angiogenesis (5), anticancer (6), inhibiting inflammation and oxidative stress (7). In addition to the research of nattokinase in the fields of throm bosis and hypertension treatment, nattokinase can also be used as a drug or adjuvant to treat diseases such Alzheimer’s disease (AD) (8), retinopathy (5) hyperlipidemia (9) and oral mucositis (10).
