Article Synopsis
- Suramin, a drug historically used for treating diseases like trypanosomiasis, is being evaluated as a potential cancer treatment due to its ability to inhibit cell growth and blood vessel formation.
- A study injected suramin into chick embryos, resulting in a significantly reduced survival rate and various congenital malformations among survivors compared to a control group.
- The findings suggest that suramin is a strong teratogen, raising concerns about its implications for human health and providing insights into the formation of certain birth defects.
