Abstract
The present invention relates to an antiviral composition and to methods of treating patients with viral infections. The antiviral composition of the present invention comprises prostratin, a phorbol ester derivative, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The present composition while having antiviral activity does not have substantial tumor promoting activity and does not have other substantial adverse toxicological properties that would preclude its use in antiviral therapy.
