    Inhibitors of enzymes like collagenase significantly improved intestinal anastomosis strength in rats by preventing a 24-hour drop in suture-holding capacity. These findings suggest potential therapeutic applications for wound healing.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Research
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Intestinal anastomosis is a critical surgical procedure.
    • Maintaining anastomotic integrity and strength is vital for successful healing.
    • Enzymatic degradation, particularly collagenase activity, can compromise anastomotic strength over time.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effect of specific enzyme inhibitors on the breaking strength of intestinal anastomoses in rats.
    • To determine if inhibiting kallikrein-plasmin, plasminogen activation, or metalloproteases can preserve anastomotic integrity.

    Main Methods:

    • Rats underwent end-to-end intestinal anastomosis.
    • Breaking strength (suture-holding capacity) was measured immediately and 24 hours post-suture.

  • Groups were treated with synthetic kallikrein-plasmin inhibitor S-2441, tranexamic acid (plasminogen activator inhibitor), or tiopronin (metalloprotease inhibitor).

    • Main Results:

    • A significant decrease in breaking strength was observed in control groups at 24 hours.
    • All tested inhibitors (S-2441, tranexamic acid, tiopronin) attenuated this decrease in breaking strength.
    • The protective effect is likely attributed to the inhibition of collagenase activity.

    Conclusions:

    • Enzyme inhibitors, including S-2441, tranexamic acid, and tiopronin, can enhance the breaking strength of intestinal anastomoses.
    • These agents appear to counteract the enzymatic degradation that weakens anastomoses post-surgery.
    • Inhibition of collagenase may be a key mechanism for preserving anastomotic integrity and promoting better wound healing.
