Abstract:
The invention provides a novel therapeutic composition comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier containing a therapeutically effective amount of an ethereal monosubstitution of a monosaccharide derivative having the general formula S-O-Y, wherein S is the residue of the monosaccharide derivative selected from the group consisting of pentoses, hexoses and heptoses as single or polysubstituted acetals, ketals or esters and Y is selected from the group consisting of cyclic monovalent nitrogen-containing organic radicals and residua and monovalent organic radicals and residua having the general formula ##STR1## wherein R. sub. 1 is a divalent organic radical having a linear carbon chain length of about 1-7 carbon atoms and R. sub. 2 and R. sub. 3 are selected from the group consisting of --H, --OH, --SH; halogen and monovalent organic radicals and residua having a linear carbon chain length of about 1-7 carbon atoms. The invention also provides certain novel ethereal monosubstitutions of monosaccharide derivatives, of which 3-O-3'-(N',N'-dimethylamino-n-propyl)-1,2-O-isopropylidene-D-glucofuranose is an example.
