Treating cytomegalovirus infections, e.g. in immuno-suppressed patients

摘要

The use of (S,S)-N,N'-ethylene diamine disuccinate of formula (I) is claimed for treating cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections. (I) is preferably used as its salt and/or with hydrogen ions, especially the salt (i) with one or more cations of atomic number 3-5, 11-13, 19-29, 37-49 or 58-81, especially Li, Na, K, Ca, Mg or Al ions; or (ii) with organic cations, especially prim., sec. or tert. amine, lysine, arginine and ornithine.
