Background

Sacrosidase is a liquid enzyme preparation from S.cerevisiae used for the treatment of congenital sucrose-isomaltase deficiency (CSID). People with CSID have variable amounts of sucrose-isomaltase enzyme activity and therefore have issues metabolizing dietary disaccharide sucrose causing chronic or intermittent watery diarrhea in infants and children. Treatment options for these patients are limited and usually consists of a lifelong sucrose-free diet; therefore, sacrosidase offers a potential alternative for symptom relief.

Mechanism of action

Sacrosidase is a [beta]-fructofuranoside fructohydrolase that hydrolyzes sucrose. Unlike human intestinal sucrase-isomaltase, it has no activity with oligosaccharides containing 1,6 glucosyl bonds.

Absorption

It has been suggested that sucrose is better absorbed (and sacrosidase activity preserved) when patients were given milk before sacrosidase rather than consuming the enzyme product alone. Therefore, it has been recommended to take half dose of sacrosidase just after a protein-containing meal, and the other half of the dose approximately half-way through the meal.
