Abstract
A pharmaceutical composition for use in the prophylaxis or treatment of pathological conditions resulting from the presence of superoxide radicals, comprising a manganese-superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) enzyme and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. The MnSOD enzyme is in native form and has substantially the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 17 or SEQ ID NO: 29 and is free of pyrogens consisting of macromolecular substances native to Bacillus Stearothermophilus (BS) or Bacillus Caldotenax (BC). Processes for producing the novel pharmaceutical composition and a method for the prophylaxis or treatment of pathological conditions resulting from the presence of superoxide radicals utilizing the novel composition are also disclosed.
