Abstract
Certain ulcers and disease conditions resulting in tissue destruction, such as those found near the cornea of the eye, and those found in the stomach, and damaged joint tissue of rheumatoid arthritis, have been found to be caused by the enzyme, collagenase. A collagenase inhibitor, such as cysteine, ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (or sodium ethylene diamine tetraacetate), or combinations of these collagenase inhibitors, are used to treat such ulcers and to inhibit further formation thereof.
