AMELIORATIONS APPORTEES A DES COMPOSES DESTINES A ETRE UTILISES DANS LE TRAITEMENT DU SIDA OU D'AUTRES MALADIES VIRALES ET INFECTIONS ASSOCIEES AU VIH ET COMPOSITIONS CONTENANT CES COMPOSES, METHODES DE TRAITEMENT DE CES MALADIES ET DE CES INFECTIONS ET METHODES DE FABRICATION DE CES COMPOSES ET DE CES COMPOSITIONS
The present invention provides methods for treating Acquired ImmunodeficiencySyndrome (AIDS) and other viral diseases and Human Immunodeficiency Virus(HIV) related infections by administering one or more compounds of formula I:wherein: the dotted line represents a single or a double bond； and R1 and R2are the same or different and independently of each other represent - CH2OH, -CH2OR4, -CH(OH)CH3, -CH(OR4)CH3 or a group represented by the formula: orsalts or hydrates thereof in a carrier which minimizes micellar formation orvan der Waals attraction of molecules of said compound. The invention alsoprovides S enantiomeric forms of such compounds which possess the ability toinhibit cell growth whilst being of low toxicity to such cells and methods ofmaking such compounds.
