suramin and Onchocerciasis

suramin has been researched along with Onchocerciasis in 80 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.

Onchocerciasis: Infection with nematodes of the genus ONCHOCERCA. Characteristics include the presence of firm subcutaneous nodules filled with adult worms, PRURITUS, and ocular lesions.

"Suramin and Mel W are the only two drugs at present known to be effective against the adult worms of Onchocerca volvulus, but in view of the unpredictable occurrence of fatal arsenical encephalopathy in a small proportion of patients receiving Mel W, suramin remains the preferred macrofilaricide in the treatment of onchocerciasis."5.03The effects of drugs on Onchocerca volvulus. 3.

"When diethylcarbamazine (DEC) was given after suramin, increased numbers of microfilariae appeared in the blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and sputum, but the increase in the blood was less marked, and of shorter duration, than in similar patients receiving DEC without previous suramin."1.26The populatin dynamics of Onchocerca volvulus microfilariae during treatment with suramin and diethylcarbamazine.
