There are no vaccines to prevent these infections so drugs such as pentamidine and suramin, benznidazole and nifurtimox and used to treat infections.

Suramin, approved for African Sleeping Sickness-induced blindness, and once studied for cancer and HIV, may reverse early renal failure.

Specifically, renal function after suramin treatment was similar to non-pathological controls : they had less proteinuria, inflammation, and fibrosis.

Such drugs already exist, and one _ called suramin _ is already being tested as a treatment for prostate cancer, the scientists said.

Suramin is also known to inhibit eukaryotic DNA primase by competing with GTP, so suramin is likely to inhibit DnaG via a similar mechanism.

Suramin has been applied clinically to HIV / AIDS patients resulting in a significant number of fatal occurrences and as a result the application of this molecule was abandoned for this condition.
20.
Further consistent with this structural hypothesis is the knowledge that suramin-a polysulfated drug ( with substantial corresponding negative charge ) has been found to inhibit sperm-zona pellucida binding.
