use of an antiviral verbindungsklasse (dithiocarbamat compounds) for the production of a tool for treatment or prevention of a viral infection in respiratory tract

摘要

The invention discloses a use of dithiocarbamate compounds having the structural formula RSUB1/SUBRSUB2/SUBNCSSUB2/SUBH, in which RSUB1 /SUBand RSUB2/SUB, independently of each other, represent a straight or branched CSUB1/SUB-CSUB4 /SUBalkyl, or, with the nitrogen atom, form an aliphatic ring with 4 to 6 C atoms, in which RSUB1/SUB, RSUB2/SUB, or the aliphatic ring is optionally substituted with one or more substituents selected from OH, NOSUB2/SUB, NHSUB2/SUB, COOH, SH, F, Cl, Br, I, methyl or ethyl, and oxidized forms of these compounds, in particular dimers thereof, as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, to prepare an agent for treating or preventing an infection by RNA viruses which attack the respiratory tract and cause disease there.
