antiparasitic

Suramin Sodium Salt (BAY-205) is a sodium salt form of suramin, a polysulphonated naphthylurea with potential antineoplastic activity. Suramin blocks the binding of various growth factors, including insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), epidermal growth factor (EGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and tumor growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), to their receptors, thereby inhibiting endothelial cell proliferation and migration. This agent also inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)- and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)-induced angiogenesis; retroviral reverse transcriptase; uncoupling of G-proteins from receptors; topoisomerases; cellular folate transport; and steroidogenesis.

Symetine(L 16726) is a small molecule compound with antiparasitic activity that can be used to study amoebic liver abscesses in guinea pigs.

Niridazole (Ambilhar) is an antiparasitic compound belonging to nitroimidazoles. Niridazole is primarily used to treat schistosomiasis, which kills the parasite by interfering with its metabolism. Niridazole rapidly concentrates in the parasite, inhibits egg and sperm production, and inhibits phosphofructokinase activity.
