RESUMEN
The monosaccharide substances inositol hexasulfate (IHS) and inositol hexaphosphoric acid (Phytic acid, IHP) were investigated for their antiviral effect on the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in vitro. In MT-4 cells IHS completely inhibited the cytopathic effect of HIV and the HIV specific antigen expression at a concentration of 1.67 mg/ml. IHP moderately inhibited both of HIV effects as mentioned above.
