suramin and Retinal Pigment Epithelial Detachment

suramin has been researched along with Retinal Pigment Epithelial Detachment in 1 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.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In a rabbit model of retinal detachment, early Müller glial cell reactivity was monitored-specifically, changes in membrane features-to determine whether these changes involve an upregulation of purinergic P2 receptor-mediated responses and whether all or some of these alterations could be blocked by suramin or pyridoxal phosphate 6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulfonic acid (PPADS)."7.72Early glial cell reactivity in experimental retinal detachment: effect of suramin. ( Bringmann, A; Francke, M; Goczalik, I; Pannicke, T; Reichenbach, A; Uckermann, O; Uhlmann, S; Ulbricht, E; Weick, M; Wiedemann, P, 2003)
