Zusammenfassung:•Serrapeptidase has immense applications in therapeutic areas.•Serrapeptidase is anti-inflammatory, anti-biofilm, analgesic, and anti-edemic.•Serrapeptidase need more scientific understanding for further exploration. Therapeutic applications of enzymes have been widely accepted in clinical practices for decades. Proteolytic enzymes in particular, have been used for the treatment of diseases and disorders. Serratiopeptidase is a proteolytic enzyme having immense applications in therapeutic areas which have been validated by several in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies as well as through anecdotal evidences. These applications are attributable to its versatile properties including anti-inflammatory, anti-biofilm, analgesic, anti-edemic, and fibrinolytic effects. The significant impact of serratiopeptidase reported needs to be backed by more scientific data. This review encompasses the details of therapeutic applications of serratiopeptidase based on available in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies. We found some strong evidences regarding the efficacy of serratiopeptidase. However data on safety, tolerability, and its mechanism of action need detailing. This review aims to further explore the available literature on serratiopeptidase as well as provide scientific details for existing applications.
