POLYHYDROXYPHENYLCHROMANONES AND DRUG, SOLUBLE IN WATER, STABILIZING THE CELL STRUCTURE AND THE METABOLISM

摘要

Salts of polyhydroxyphenylchromanones, e.g., silymarin or one or more members of the silymarin group, are reacted with a monoaminopolyhydroxy alcohol of the formula R1 HO-CH2-(CH OH)x-CH2-N ANGLE R2 wherein X IS AN INTEGER FROM 3 TO 5; AND R1 and R2 are hydrogen, lower alkyl or hydroxyalkyl TO GIVE CHEMOTHERAPEUTIC SALT COMPOUNDS WHICH ARE WATER SOLUBLE WHILE RETAINING A HIGH DEGREE OF MEDICAL EFFECTIVENESS. The salt compounds can be administered to mammals to antagonize or mitigate liver damage and inflammation.
