IN316398: A novel bioadhesive and a process for the preparation thereof

The invention provides a bioadhesive product useful for application in both wet as well as dry tissue surfaces prepared using fibrousproteins. The protein was conjugated to simple bifunctional phenolics and then oxidized either with chemical or enzymatic oxidants. The resulting product acts as a resorbable adhesive and demonstrated antimicrobial property against both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria and obviates the complications associated with surgical procedures.
