Suramin is 100 years old and is still being used to treat the first stage of acute human sleeping sickness, caused by Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense. Suramin is a multifunctional molecule with a wide array of potential applications, from parasitic and viral diseases to cancer, snakebite, and autism.

African trypanosomiasis, also known as African sleeping sickness or simply sleeping sickness, is an insect-borne parasitic infection of humans and other animals.[3] It is caused by the species Trypanosoma brucei.[3] Humans are infected by two types, Trypanosoma brucei gambiense (TbG) and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (TbR).[3] TbG causes over 92% of reported cases.[1] Both are usually transmitted by the bite of an infected tsetse fly and are most common in rural areas.[3]
What does suramin do for autism?
Background. There is a critical need for effective treatment of the core symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The purinergic antagonist suramin may improve core symptoms through restoration of normal mitochondrial function and reduction of neuro-inflammation via its known antagonism of P2X and P2Y receptors.Nov 6, 2023
The core structure of suramin typically consists of a
guanidine moiety linked to a hydroxyapatite molecule through a glycoprotein
chain.
Suramin is a
medication that is typically used to treat African trypanosomiasis, also known
as sleeping sickness, which is a parasitic disease caused by the Trypanosoma
parasite. It is not approved for the treatment of autism or other
neurodevelopmental disorders, and it is not widely available for purchase in
the United States.
Suramin has been used for many years as a medication for
treating trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness, which is a parasitic
disease caused by the Trypanosoma parasite. It works by inhibiting the growth
of the parasite and preventing it from multiplying in the body.
In recent years, suramin has been investigated
as a potential treatment for various neurological disorders, including autism
spectrum disorder. However, more research is needed to fully understand its
mechanism of action and to determine whether it is safe and effective for
treating these conditions
