Abstract

Inositol derivatives, compositions comprising inositol derivatives, and methods for using compositions comprising inositol derivatives as agents for inhibiting superoxide anion production are described. The inositol derivatives are obtainable via conventional organic synthesis. The inositol derivatives inhibit superoxide anion produced by neutrophils and macrophages which cause tissue damage.
