Abstract

A method of treating mammals to reduce the deleterious effects of endotoxin and endotoxic shock mediators comprising administering a therapeutic amount of a 2-alkylthio-adenosine-5'-nucleotide. The preferred compound is 2-methylthio-adenosine-5'-triphosphate. The nucleotide used in this treatment inhibits lipopolysaccharide-induced GTPase activity.
