Abstract
Novel antiviral (including antiretroviral) compounds are mono- or dicarboxylic acid esters of hypericin in which one or both of the methyl groups of hypericin are substituted by carboxylic acid ester groups of the formula COOR in which R is alkyl, the chain of which is optionally interrupted by one or more oxygen or sulphur atoms. R is preferably methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, 2-methoxyethyl or 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl. The compounds may be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions and may be used in any manner which has previously been known for hypericin.
