Saturated aminocyclitol derivatives, their preparation and medicaments containing these compounds

A compound which is a saturated aminocyclitol derivative of the formula ##STR7## in which m and n independently of each other denote 0 or an integer from 1 to 8 and the sum of m+n has a value from 0 to 8,

• X represents OH, OR, SH, SR, NH.sub.2, NHR or NRR.sub.1, and
• R and R.sub.1 independently represent a straight chain or branched, saturated or unsaturated alkyl radical with 1 to 8 carbon atoms;
• a saturated or unsaturated carbocyclic radical with 3 to 6 carbon atoms;
• an aralkyl radical consisting of an alkylen- or -alkenylen-chain having 1 to 3 carbon atoms and an optionally substituted phenyl ring with one or two substituents selected from OH, NH.sub.2, Cl, CH.sub.3, NO.sub.2, COOH;
• an optionally substituted pheny ring with one or two substituents selected from -OH, -Cl, -CH.sub.3, -NO2, -COOH or ##STR8## together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded form a heterocyclic five- or six membered ring, selected from pyrrolidine, piperidine, piperazine, hexamethyleneimine, morpholine and N-methylpiperazine.
