THE THERAPEUTIC USE OF LOW CONCENTRATIONS OF TRINITROBENZENE, CARMINIC ACID AND THEIR DERIVATIVES AS ANTI-CANCER AND ANTI-VIRAL AGENTS

摘要

Compounds or radicals based on trinitrobenzene, carminic acid and derivatives thereof are useful as anti-cancer and anti-viral agents. Such compounds and formulations based thereon may be administered to a human or animal patient orally or parenterally in a substantially pure aqueous solution/suspension ranging at dilutions between about 10-3-10-15 molar concentrations. In preferred embodiments, one or more of said compounds and an anthraquinone (such as carminic acid) are used. Carminic acid alone exhibits significant anti-viral effects.
