Abstract: The present invention provides a method of inhibiting the formation of pseudorabies particles in a host cell. The method involves administering an effective amount of a poly-hydroxylated stilbene, particularly resveratrol, to a herpes virus infected host cell. The present invention also provides a method of reducing or inhibiting the growth of Neisseria gonorrhea and Neisseria meningiditis in vitro and in vivo. The method comprises administering a composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a tri-hydroxylated stilbene to a growth surface which has come into contact or could come into contact with the bacterium.

Abstract: The invention relates to a compound of the general formula (I) where R1, R2, R3, R4, R1?, R2?, R3? and R4? are independently of one another hydrogen, C1–C15-alkyl, C2–C15-alkenyl, C2–C15-alkinyl, C3–C16-cycloalkyl, C3–C16-cycloalkenyl, aryl or a heterocyclus which in each case can be substituted or unsubstituted, Y is a physiologically compatible anion, and n is 1 or 2, as well as its application to the prophylaxis and/or tretment of cancer illnesses.
