  • Patent number: 11065220
    Abstract: Therapeutic compounds useful for the treatment of pathogens including bacteria (gram positive and gram negative, mycobacteria), some fungi and viruses. The compounds described herein may include a mixture of therapeutically-effective amounts of a polar amino acid, a CI 1 fatty acid, and an anthraquinone. The invention further provides for the administration of the therapeutic compounds to a patient (e.g., a human) suffering from an infection.
