suramin and Mucopolysaccharidoses

suramin has been researched along with Mucopolysaccharidoses in 8 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.

Mucopolysaccharidoses: Group of lysosomal storage diseases each caused by an inherited deficiency of an enzyme involved in the degradation of glycosaminoglycans (mucopolysaccharides). The diseases are progressive and often display a wide spectrum of clinical severity within one enzyme deficiency.

"The trypanocidal drug suramin was previously reported to induce mucopolysaccharidosis in rats; apart from the biochemical demonstration of increased tissue concentrations of sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), a strongly positive staining reaction with the cationic dye Alcian Blue was taken as indicating GAG-storage (Constantopoulos et al."7.67On the alcianophilia of the drug suramin used as a tool for inducing experimental mucopolysaccharidosis.
