surfen

Surfen dihydrochloride (Aminoquinuride dihydrochloride) is a potent small molecule antagonist of heparin sulfate with antibacterial and antiviral activity, and inhibits anthrax lethal factor, coagulation factor X, and lethal factor.Surfen inhibits the anticoagulant activity of both normal and low-molecular-weight heparin and inhibits heparin sulfation and heparin cleavage enzyme degradation.Surfen inhibits the blockade of FGF2 binding and signaling mediated by heparin acetylsulfate. Surfen inhibits the blockade of acetylheparin sulfate-mediated FGF2 binding and signaling.Surfen inhibits SEVI and semen-mediated enhancement of HIV type 1 infection.

Hemisurfen is a small molecule, surfen derivative with heparan sulfate antagonist properties.

Diminazene, an aromatic diamine compound derived from Surfen C, is commonly used in the form of its acetate salt. It exhibits high activity against both Trypanosoma and Babesia spp.

Aminoquinuride, also known as Surfen, is a proteoglycan binding agent that reduces inflammation but inhibits remyelination in murine models of Multiple Sclerosis. Murine T cell activation is regulated by Surfen.
