“The main result of … study is that suramin has only an effect on HT29-D4 … growth and differentiation when the concentration of glucose is above 10 mM. Therefore the efficiency of suramin as an anticancer drug may be greater on poorly differentiated tumoral cells with a high proliferative capacity.”

“Furthermore, it was observed that the islet activity of the glucose producing glycogenolytic hydrolase, acid amyloglucosidase, which is excessively high in the obese mouse, was markedly reduced by suramin (about 70%) at 20 hr.”
