<p>THERAPEUTIC COMPOSITION, NOVEL COMPOUNDS USEFUL THEREIN AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME The invention provides a novel therapeutic composition comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier containing a therapeutically effective amount of an ethereally monosubstituted monosaccharide having the general formula S-O-Y, wherein S is the residue of a monosaccharide selected from the group consisting of pentoses, hexoses and heptoses and Y is selected from the group consisting of cyclic monovalent nitrogen containing organic radicals and residua and monovalent organic radicals and residua having the general formula , wherein R1 is a divalent organic radical having a linear carbon chain length of about 1-7 carbon atoms and R2 and R3 are selected from the group consisting of -H, -OH, -SH, halogen and monovalent organic radicals and residua having a linear carbon chain length of about 1-7 carbon atoms. The novel compositions show striking antiviral activity or other therapeutically valuable properties.</p> |
