Abstract: For the preparation of conjugates of adenine-9-beta-D-arabinofuranoside 5'monophosphate (ara-AMP) with lactosaminated human albumin (L-HSA) aqueous solutions of the two components to be conjugated are brought into contact in the presence of 1-ethyl-3-(dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide, by adjusting the pH in the range from slightly acidic to alkaline and by carrying out the conjugate separation. The resulting conjugate, wherein the molar ratio, as determined through spectrophotometric route, between ara-AMP and L-HSA does vary between 5 and 20, remains soluble after lyophilization even at room temperature and shows biological activity at least equivalent to that of the conjugate as prepared according to the known art.

Abstract: A conjugate of 9-(2-hydroxyethoxymethyl)-guanine with lactosaminated human albumin is therapeutically more efficacious than the free drug in the treatment of chronical hepatitis induced from Virus B. For the preparation of the conjugate an aqueous solution of 9-(2-hydroxyethoxymethyl)-guanine in form of a derivative, particularly monophosphate, and an aqueous solution of lactosaminated human albumin are reacted in the presence of 1-ethyl-3-(dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide, by adjusting the pH to the value of 7.5 and by maintaining the reaction mixture for 24 hours under stirring and in the dark.

Abstract: The administration by oral route of a composition comprising arginine pyrrolidone carboxylate and lysine pyrrolidone carboxylate at a dose of 150 to 200 mg/kg of body weight has immunomodulating activity capable of restoring depressed immunodefenses.

Abstract: The treatment of patients suffering from acute alcoholic intoxication with pyridoxine 5-oxo-2-pyrrolidon-carboxylate permits the symptomatology of the psychomotor excitation and aggression to be readily and essentially completely solved.
