SALTS OF 5,5'-ARYLIDENEBISBARBITURIC AND 5,5'-ARYLIDENEBIS(2-THIOBARBITURIC) ACIDS AND 5,5'-ARYLIDENEBIS(2-THIOBARBITURIC) ACIDS HAVING AN ANTIBACTERIAL, ANTI-CHLAMYDIAL, ANTIVIRAL AND IMMUNO-MODULATING ACTIVITY

摘要

The present invention relates to the production of new chemical substances having an anti-microbial, antiviral, immuno-modulating and anti-tumoral activity. This invention more precisely relates to the synthesis of new substances consisting of 5,5'-arylidenebis(2-thiobarbituric) acids and in salts of 5,5'-arylidenebisbarbituric and 5,5'-arylidenebis(2-thiobarbituric) acids of general formula (I) where X is oxygen or sulphur. R<1> is hydrogen, a nitro group or an alkoxy group, R<2> is hydrogen, a nitro group, an alkoxy group or halogen and Cat<+> is a proton or a pyridin- or 2-hydroxyethylammonium-cation. In the preferred embodiments of these substances, the following conditions are observed: This invention also relates to eight synthesis instances of these substances, to three tables representing the chemical and physical characteristics of the substances thus obtained and to the results of five series of experiments. These synthesis instances, tables and results demonstrate the biological properties of these substances on myco-bacteria, on herpes viruses and on Chlamydia trachomatis as well as their interferon-inducing activity and the absence of acute toxicity.
