In Russia, they produced an ointment for wounds and burns with human protein. They developed a healing and disinfecting medicine with albumin at PNRPU 15:44

Experts from the Perm National Research Polytechnic University (PNRPU) have created a new recipe for ointment against burns, wounds and abrasions based on albumin, one of the basic proteins of blood plasma. socialbites.ca was informed about this by the press service of the scientific institution.

Scientists at Perm Polytechnic University studied the albuminous composition of the only available drug and identified its drawbacks: the complexity of producing and using alcohol extract, so it should not be applied to open skin lesions.

Researchers developed their own version of the drug using a 20% solution of human albumin. Due to its high binding ability, the protein remains the main carrier of various molecules, including drug particles. Additionally, albumin accelerates healing when used topically.

Polytechnicians created an ointment base from stearic acid, polysorbate 80, glycerin and potassium carbonate with the addition of silver citrate as a protective and disinfectant element.

“Various formulations were made by making changes to the technological process and the ingredient composition of the ointment. Tests of the resulting compositions showed that they comply with the standards of the State Pharmacopoeia of the Russian Federation for dosage forms for external use and ensure effective contact of the active substance with the wound surface,” Tatyana Ablina, author of the development, master’s student at the Biotechnology department at PNRPU, told socialbites.ca .

According to scientists, the main and auxiliary components of the ointment are not separated during production and transportation. The drug retains its properties during long-term storage and can be applied directly to burns and cuts due to the absence of alcohol in the composition.
