suramin and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome

suramin has been researched along with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome in 43 studies

Suramin: A polyanionic compound with an unknown mechanism of action. It is used parenterally in the treatment of African trypanosomiasis and it has been used clinically with diethylcarbamazine to kill the adult Onchocerca. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1992, p1643) It has also been shown to have potent antineoplastic properties.
suramin : A member of the class of phenylureas that is urea in which each of the amino groups has been substituted by a 3-({2-methyl-5-[(4,6,8-trisulfo-1-naphthyl)carbamoyl]phenyl}carbamoyl)phenyl group. An activator of both the rabbit skeletal muscle RyR1 and sheep cardiac RyR2 isoform ryanodine receptor channels, it has been used for the treatment of human African trypanosomiasis for over 100 years.

"Suramin was found to produce a positive DAT in vitro at concentrations of 2100 mg/L or greater but did not cause a positive DAT in five patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome who were treated with suramin, probably because the serum levels of suramin were too low in these patients (peak therapeutic blood levels ranged from 171 to 443 mg/L)."1.27Production of a positive direct antiglobulin test due to suramin.
