Abstract
The invention provides a method of therapeutically treating a warm blooded animal afflicted with an autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis. In one variant, this is accomplished by administering an ethereally monosubstituted monosaccharide having the general formula M.sub.1 --O--Y, and/or an ethereal monosubstitution of monosaccharide derivatives having the general formula M.sub.2 --O--Y, and/or pharmaceutically acceptable organic acid and inorganic acid salts thereof as defined hereinafter. In a preferred variant, a synergistic mixture is used containing one or more of the foregoing compounds as a first ingredient and an additional compatible substance as a second ingredient which is effective to therapeutically treat autoimmune diseases in warm blooded animals. The invention further provides a novel synergistic composition for therapeutically treating warm blooded animals afflicted with an autoimmune disease which consists essentially of the aforementioned first and second ingredients.
