Abstract: Antivirally active compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein A is ##STR2## wherein m is 1 or 2,n is 1 or 2, whereby m is 1 when n is 2 and m is 2 when n is 1,R.sub.a ' is (CH.sub.2).sub.p OH, NHCONH.sub.2 or COR.sub.a ",R.sub.a " is hydrogen, hydroxy or amino,p is 1 to 4,R.sub.b ' and R.sub.b " are independently selected from hydrogen or (CH.sub.2).sub.p OH,with the proviso that at least one of R.sub.b ' or R.sub.b " is hydrogen; orR.sub.b ' and R.sub.b " together constitute an additional carbon-carbon bond to form an alkyne; or a physiologically acceptable salt, geometric or optical isomer thereof; pharmaceutical preparations containing the compounds and methods for treatment of virus infections.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical preparation containing as active ingredient a compound of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are the same or different, and each is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl groups containing 1-6 carbon atoms; cycloalkyl groups containing 3-6 carbon atoms; cycloalkyl-alkyl groups containing 4-6 carbon atoms; 1-adamantyl; 2-adamantyl, benzyl; and phenyl groups of the formula ##STR2## wherein R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are the same or different and each is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, alkyl having 1, 2, or 3 carbon atoms, alkoxy having 1, 2, or 3 carbon atoms, alkoxycarbonyl having 2-7 carbon atoms and alkylcarbonyl groups having 2-7 carbon atoms; or R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 together form a straight saturated alkylene chain having 3 or 4 carbon atoms and being bound to adjacent positions, i.e. 2,3- or 3,4- in the phenyl ring; and R.sub.

Abstract: Novel antiviral compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein each of R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, which are the same or different is hydrogen, hydroxy or fluoro; provided that R.sub.1 or R.sub.2 is hydrogen when R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are different, and provided that R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are hydroxy or fluoro when R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are the same; or a physiologically acceptable salt or an optical isomer thereof, methods for their preparation, pharmaceutical preparations containing the compounds, and methods for the treatment of virus infections and other diseases caused by viruses.
