Abstract
A method for inactivating viruses which comprises the step of contacting the virus with an effective amount of a substantially pure divalent metal ion chelate of a polysulfate of xylan having glycosidically linked D-glucuronyl side chains with divalent metal ions chelated thereto wherein substantially all monovalent ions have been substituted by divalent metal ions, said divalent metal ions being selected from the group consisting of Ca.sup.2+, Mg.sup.2+, Cu.sup.2+ and Zn.sup.2+.
Claims6
A method of treating an infection in a host infected by a virus selected from the group consisting of Friend Leukemia Virus, Herpes Simplex Type 1 and Herpes Simplex Type 2, comprising the step of administering to said host an effective amount of a pure divalent metal ion chelate of a polysulfate of xylan having glycosidically linked D-glucuronyl side chains with divalent metal ions chelated thereto wherein substantially all monovalent ions have been substituted by divalent metal ions being selected from the group consisting of Ca.sup.2+, Mg.sup.2+, Cu.sup.2+ and Zn.sup.2+.
