Abstract

A pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of cancers or tumors in mammals is disclosed which comprises 2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-1,3-bis(1H-1,2,4-triazol-l-yl)propan-2-ol and its derivatives. A chemotherapeutic agent can be used in conjunction with 2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-1,3-bis(1H-1,2,4-triazol-l-yl)propan-2-ol and its derivatives as can potentiators. 2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-1,3-bis(1H-1,2,4-triazol-l-yl)propan-2-ol and its derivatives can also be used to treat viral infections, either alone, in conjunction with other anti-viral agents or with a potentiator.

Any suitable dosage may be given in the method of the h.~ ioll. The type of co-..l u---A
and the carrier a~d the amount will vary widely d~ g on the species of the warm blooded animal or human, body weight, and the type of caneer or tumor or viral infection being treated.
25 Generally a dosage of between about 1 milligrqm (mg) per kiho~yp~ (Icg) of body weight and about 1000 mg per lcg of body weight is suitable for either the 2-(2,4~ Lv-upl ~ 1)-1,3-bis(lH-1,2,4-triazol-l-yl)propan-2-ol and its d~.ivd~ s or the ~h- -~h--~ agent. P-~f~ from lS mg to about 800 mg/lcg of body weight is used. Generally, the dosage in man is lower than for small warm blooded mqm~qlc sueh as miee. A dosage unit may eomprise a single c-~ v---~A or 30 mixtures thereof with other ,o~ c or other cancer inhihi~ing ~ k The dosage unit can also cr , ~ diluents, ~ carriers, hl~ and the lilce. The unit may be in solid or gel form such as pills, tablets, capsules and the like or in liquid form suitable for oral, rectal, topical, i~ s injeetion or pa l ~ n~a;o~- or injeetion into or around the bone marrow. The range and ratio of 2~2,Winuu.o~l.e.-~1)-1,3-bis(lH-1,2,4-triazol-l-yl)propan-2-ol and its derivatives to cht - ' ~ - agent will depend on the type of cancer or tumor being treated and the ya Li-ulat ~ u~ c agent.
