(AIDS), there has been no description of any medications/ pharmaceutical
preparations for blocking the HIV-1 and HIV-2 virus replication in the CD4+
cells
of the human immune system based on the reasoning adopted here.
The premiss underlying the invention discussed here is the reasoning that
the basis for the HIV- I and HIV-2 virus replication in the CD4+ cells of the
human
immune system is the exeitono-excimeric correlation between the HIV- I and HIV-
2 viruses and the CD4 cell of the human immune system.
The effect of the adoption of that reasoning is as follows: the initiation of
the therapy aimed at treatment of the HIV-1 and HIV-2 viral infections, and
AIDS,
to is reduced to delivering substances completely blocking the mechanism
causing the
HIV-1 and HIV-2 replication to the patient's body.
The following substances proved to be helpful in that task: allocryptopine,
an alkaloid found in the Chelidonium maius plant, nimodipine, potassium
iodide,
potassium iodate, inuline, silver, zinc, chromium, orotic acid and desferrin.
Other
15 substances found to be helpful in this task were taraxasterol and B-
sitosterol.
It is known that: allocryptopine is a nucleotide phosphodiesterase blocker,
nimodipine is a calcium channel blocker, potassium iodide when combined with
potassium iodate in the acidic environment, produces iodic free radicals,
inuline is
a polysaccharide which is not decomposed in the body9 silver, zinc, and
chromium
~ o are elements playing a role in the enzymatic processes, - desferrin
chelates ferric
ions, - ~r~tic acid a the precursor of the nucleotide compounds.
However, the substances listed above have never appeared nor been applied
together, and in particular they have not been used together in the
therapeutic
