ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to methods for treating cachexia in a patient and inhibiting IL-6 bioactivity. This is accomplished by administering to a patient an effective amount of a sulfate-containing compound, for example, suramin, a derivative of suramin, Pentosan polysulfate, or Dextran sulfate. The present invention is also effective in combating IL-6 related diseases.
