A NEW FAMILY OF COMPOUNDS HAVING ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AND ANTI-VIRAL ACTIVITY AND COMPOSITIONS OF THESE, ALONE AND IN COMBINATION WITH REVERSE TRANSCRIPTASE INHIBITORS, FOR INHIBITING, PREVENTING OR ELIMINATING VIRAL REPLICATION AND METHODS OF USING SAME

摘要

A new family of compounds having anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and brocho-dilating activity having the following linear and cyclic formulas: IMAGE I (linear form) IMAGE II (cyclic form) and compositions of these, which alone, and in combination with reverse transcriptase inhibitors thereby resulting in an additive or synergistic effect, are useful in inhibiting or suppressing viruses including those exhibiting retroviral replication, or in treating viruses including a retrovirus such as HIV in a human cell population and methods of using these compositions, compounds, and salts thereof.
