| Description | Suramin is a reversible, competitive inhibitor of protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) [1], demonstrating potent inhibition against sirtuins: SirT1 (IC50=297 nM), SirT2 (IC50=1.15 μM), and SirT5 (IC50=22 μM) [2]. It also acts as a competitive inhibitor of reverse transcriptase (DNA topoisomerase II: IC50=5 μM) [3] [4] and exhibits potent inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) [5]. Additionally, Suramin effectively inhibits IP5K, showcasing its antiparasitic, anti-neoplastic, and anti-angiogenic properties [6] [7] [8]. |
