Abstract: Novel hydroxyalkylammonium-pyrimidine of the formula ##STR1## and nucleoside derivatives have been found to be useful as inhibitors of inflammatory cytokines. They can be used, inter alia, in the therapy of septic shock, cachexia, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis and AIDS. The compounds are typically prepared by reaction of an iodo substituted nucleoside with the appropriately substituted hydroxyalkylamine.
