Treatment of viral infection using morphic form ii phosphonic acid
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11912667B2) discloses a method for treating viral infections in subjects by administering a therapeutically effective amount of morphic Form II of phosphonic acid. This specific form is characterized by an X-ray diffraction pattern that lacks prominent peaks at certain degrees, distinguishing it from other forms. The method includes administering the compound orally, typically in tablet or capsule form, at a specific dose and purity level. The patent also covers the prevention of viral infections in subjects by the same method, particularly beneficial for immunodeficient individuals or those at risk of bone marrow toxicity from existing treatments.
The method outlined in the patent is particularly relevant for treating viral infections such as cytomegalovirus or BK virus infections in subjects, especially those undergoing organ or tissue transplantation. It addresses cases where the viral infection is resistant to current medications or when subjects experience side effects from standard treatments. By administering the morphic Form II of phosphonic acid, the patent aims to provide a more effective and potentially safer alternative for managing viral infections in vulnerable populations. The method's preventive aspect further extends its utility in protecting at-risk individuals from contracting viral infections, showcasing the potential impact of this innovation in the field of antiviral therapy.
