Abstract: As a popular drug, suramin has attracted much attention for a century. It has an extensive record of clinical trials. This review article gives a brief introduction of its wide biological roles, remarkable pharmacological activities, and several side effects. Chemists and biological scientists have been working together for the design and synthesis of its derivatives and analogues. Some structure-activity relationships have been realized and provide guidelines for its prosperous development in the near future.
