What is the mode of action of Serratiopeptidase?
-
Proteolytic enzyme
-
Cox enzyme inhibitor
-
Betalactamase inhibitor
-
None of these
Correct Answer
A. Proteolytic enzymeExplanation
Serratiopeptidase is a proteolytic enzyme, meaning it works by breaking down proteins. This mode of action allows it to reduce inflammation and promote tissue healing by breaking down dead or damaged tissue. It is commonly used as an anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving agent.Rate this question:

What is the mode of action of Cefuroxime sodium?
-
Inhibits bacterial protein synthesis
-
Inhibits bacterial DNA replication
-
Inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis
-
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. Inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesisExplanation
Cefuroxime sodium is a cephalosporin antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. This means that it prevents the bacteria from building a strong and protective cell wall, leading to the weakening and eventual death of the bacteria. By targeting the cell wall, cefuroxime sodium effectively inhibits the growth and reproduction of bacteria, making it an effective treatment for bacterial infections.Rate this question:

What is the mode of action of clavulanic acid?
-
Proteolytic enzyme
-
Cox enzyme inhibitor
-
Beta lactamase inhibitor
-
None of these
Correct Answer
A. Beta lactamase inhibitorExplanation
Clavulanic acid is a beta lactamase inhibitor. Beta lactamase is an enzyme produced by some bacteria that can break down beta-lactam antibiotics, such as penicillins and cephalosporins. By inhibiting the action of beta lactamase, clavulanic acid helps to protect beta-lactam antibiotics from being destroyed, allowing them to effectively kill bacteria.Rate this question:
