Abstract

It has been found that compounds having a stereochemically unencumbered access to a nitrogen-nitrogen bond have antiviral activity in extremely low dose ranges. Hydrazine, hydrazine derivatives and related compounds have been found to be active in protecting animals against disease caused by both DNA and RNA type viruses at doses of about 250 picograms to 250 micrograms per kilograms of host body weight.
