METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR INHIBITING ENVELOPED VIRUSES USING HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT HYDROPHOBICALLY MODIFIED POLYMERS

摘要

This invention relates to methods and compositions for inhibiting the transmission of enveloped viruses, which entails applying a composition containing a high molecular weight hydrophobically-modified polymer to an infectable or ingestible surface that may contain viruses and wherein said anti-viral composition is substantially free of surfactant having an HLB greater than about 12.
