  • the effects of viruses on bodily functions is the end result of changes occurring at the cellular and subcellular levels.
  • the pathogenic changes at the cellular level are different for different combinations of viruses and host cells. While some viruses cause a general destruction (killing) of certain cells, other may transform cells to a neoplastic state.

  • As a possible range for the amount of the compounds of the invention which may be administered per day may be mentioned from about 0.1 mg to about 2000 mg or from about 1 mg to about 2000 mg, or preferably from 1 mg to about 2000 mg for topical administration, from 50 mg to about 2000 mg or from 100 to about 1000 mg for oral administration and from 10 mg to about 2000 mg or from 50 to about 500 mg for injection. In severe cases it may be necessary to increase these doses 5-fold to 10-fold. In less severe cases it may be sufficient to use up to 500 or 1000 mg.
  • compositions containing the active ingredients may suitably be formulated so that they provide doses within these ranges either as single dosage units or as multiple dosage units.
  • the compounds of the formula I and the physiologically acceptable salts thereof can be used to inhibit herpesvirus multiplication.
  • the compounds of the formula I and physiologically acceptable salts thereof are useful in therapeutic and/or prophylactic treatment of virus infections.
  • a preferred aspect of the invention is the use of the compounds of the formula I or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof, in the treatment of herpesvirus infections.
  • Butan 1,3-diol (1.0 g) was dissolved in pyridine (50 ml) and cooled to 0°C.
  • Orthq-chlorobenzoylchloride (1.9 g) was added with stirring.
  • the reaction mixture was kept at 0°C for 1 hour and then at room temperature over night.
  • the solution was poured with stirring into ice-water ( ⁇ 100 ml). After stirring for 15 min the aqueous mixture was extracted with chloroform.
  • the combined chloroform extracts were washed with ice-cold 0.25 M aqueous sulfuric acid, saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate and water.
  • Diisopropylazodicarboxylate (75 mg, 0.37 mmol; cf. R.P. Volante, Tetrahedron letters vol. 22, No. 33, pp 3119-3122, 1981) was added to a solution of triphenylphosphine (97.6 mg, 0.37 mmol) in dimethylformamide (2 ml) at 0°C.
  • active substance denotes a compound according to the present invention or a salt thereof.
  • Each tablet contains:
  • Each suppository contains:
  • Polyethylene glycol 1500 50.0 g Polyethylene glycol 4000 15.0 g Propylene glycol ad 100.0 g
  • Each tablet contains:
